Poor+Poor=Happy
Poor+Rich=Happy
Rich+Rich=Happy

It really depends on the two people.

 Lack of money in a marriage can put additional stress on the relationship. Yet, if she believes that with no money, there is no love- she is just shallow. She needs to be humbled. Yes, life is easier with money. However, without the hard times, you don't appreciate the good times. It molds who you are. Marriage is something that must be worked at. Your friend is selfish.

 No, love doesn't rely on money. I fell in love in its absence. Even with the pressures of being poor, many people sustain great love for each other. I didn't love my parents less because we were poor, either. We don't love our creator less when we are poor, though we may struggle. Devotion and a "right heart" are the only necessities for sustaining love.

I am curious what your reaction was when your friend said this? What does your experience tell you?

 I am a simple person money and possessions are only temporary happiness.

 Of course not.

 I have been poverty stricken and in love. I don't think that money is a reason for or against love.

 Money does not buy love. Love does not bring you money. Money is just as important in a relationship is as communication is. But love is not dependent on money.... I once heard someone say... "money helps until love comes along"...so sad!

 No love is not money but it helps because a lot of relationship do end because of money issues

 NO i don't think so that love relies on money but it's true that if we have sufficient money we can have better life.

 No way that is very cinical, love makes the world go round not money i love my man with or without money we have been well of and skint and wew still love each other, we have argued more when were skint but that's cos were both stressed not because we loved each other any less

 Absolutely not. There is nothing like true love. Money cannot compare to love. Money makes things easier at times, but often is the subject of many arguments in relationships too.

 No way true love is apart everything and its heaven and money is just a essential thing and no one can buy love with the money we have :-)

True love is devine.

 No, my wife loves me and I know for sure its not for money, I don't have any.

 Love does not revolve around money if anything Money ruins love look in Hollywood and all the divorce and they have money

 No never. Love relies only the care ive towards ur partner.

 Well then, i don't think that was really love.... Love does not rely on money... They should be happy with each other if they truly love each other

 Love certainly does not rely on money. My husband and I are both in the Army and we have a 7-month-old baby girl. Between the two things we rarely see each other. It doesn't weaken our bond but makes it stronger because we truly value the time we get to spend together.

 If it was the case, there would'nt have existed a true love. Money may be a part of our lives but, love cannot be bought / brought through money

 No, if love relies on money, that's actually not true love for the right person but a love for money. Money is just one factor that can influence love quality, but not the only and most important one. If you love someone, love what he is, no matter he has much money or not. Coz you can make more money by your hands together and try to live well in the future.

 I was scared to think of marrige.I have no experience for that,but I think it is good to have suitable money before you get married, so that you won't be in financial problems.

 In today's world money is a necessity, since bartering is out-money has nothing to do with love-Real love Doe's not depend on money.

 How cynical. It's such a shame that your friend feels that way. Don't get me wrong... It's nice to be able to afford things without having to worry about money all the time. "Living on love" is a myth. I guess married life hasn't turned out to be what your friend expected. Maybe the couple got married for the wrong reasons. Maybe they married too soon. Finances is a common thing that married couples argue about.

Sometimes we have to do without in the present so that we might prosper in the future. I know that my parents had to struggle. I was born 11 months after they got married. Now they had three to worry about. When my sister came along nine years later, she was able to have things I never did. Yes, it was difficult, but they didn't give up. My folks traveled all over the world, and retirement has been very comfortable. Your friend needs to sit down with his wife and figure things out. Maybe they made a mistake, or maybe they need to make plans to work the problem out,
