This week topic are so attracting and I picked that of marriage because I am partially affected by that.
As an African when a girl or a boy in the family has grown up to late 20s she or he is expected to start thinking of how to start his or her own family though this takes place according to the culture and tradition of each ethnic group in Nigeria precisely.
And some families will advise their daughter to look for a man who has wealth that can take care of her very well, and some will also advise their child to look for a man who really loves her and can take good care of her.
In marriage money and love which one comes first?
Some people will say they can't marry someone who doesn't have money while others will say they don't need money all they need is true love.
MY VIEW
Personally I believe that both love and money are important in a marriage because love has each role to play and money also have his own role to play.
Let's talk about Love.
True love endures all things, it believes all things and it doesn't fail,
Marriage is a union of two imperfect persons who were brought up from two different homes and might be from different ethnic groups so definitely there will be misunderstanding and it is only love that can help this two people to manage whatever misunderstanding that comes up in the marriage, no matter the amount of money a man has if there is no love in the marriage the marriage will definitely not last because money cannot help to bear some irritating threats that one of the partners might have and also money cannot be able to see the good in the other person only love can help either the husband or the wife to see the good in the other person that will over shadow those irritating threats in him or her.
Love will help both partners to build or develop compassion humility and mildness and this are essential qualities like food in the body this qualities feeds the mind and keeps the mind always ready to care for the other.
If there is love each one will pay attention and see when they meet is facing challenges and will also try as much as much as she or he can to provide solution but when there is no love no one bothers about each other so it will be difficult to have a happy marriage without Love, inshort it is impossible to have a happy marriage without Love.
What about money?
Yes money is important because it serves as protection in the family, Money helps to solve certain problem that comes up in the family, money is used to pay bills and take care of the family in general but money doesn't generate affection it doesn't generate compassion.
When there is no money and there is love marriage can survive because the partner will just need to talk about their finances and with love they can manage what they have but when there is money and there is no love it is difficult to enjoy the money in peace that is why thousands of marriages are breaking up today even when there is a lot of money in the family because there is no love to cover the multitude of sins.
Summary
Money and love are important in a marriage but love is more important because love preserved the marriage just like salt preserves a food love helps to save the marriage during challenges and love helps the marriage to remain happy as long as they both partner live.
Most importantly the fact that it is God who initiated marriage and God is love, This is the major reason why love is the key to a happy family life.

Aside love and money, communication and patience is also important in marriage. A lot of factors come to play when it comes to marriage.
You can only be patient with whom you love no matter what you will just want to find a way out.
Love is very important, thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for sharing love is most important in marriage
Love is the foundation of marriage, but the more our world evolve is the more things change. Now it seems like money is the new foundation.
no matter how they try love wins. Money can only protect it can't preserve.
Love is more important surely. Money can fail. There are things money are limited to. An affectionate cuddle, a heartfelt smile, natural care, good conversations, attention, genuine feelings, and so on. Money can trigger the intensity of these things, but at a point, you will see that money isn't really the driving force. I think the foundation of every marriage should be made on love. Thanks for sharing
for money can fail but true love can never fail, love doesn't give money and money can never give care, I appreciate you stopping by dear.
You said it all, money helps smoothen rough edges in marriage but where money fails,love triumphs.That's why it is superior to money
I appreciate the way you likened love to salt because of its value as a preservative.If all other things fail, love can never fail.
yes true love never fails and so it can help marriages too
