Love and money Lack of money can have a harmful impact on marital relationship and love in general. Lack of love can't be made up for money, but this is another topic, which we won't discuss in this article. Let's consider a simple situation. There is love and there is enough money. Does it mean that everything is OK? Curiously enough, some people can find problems even in this ideal situation. Why does it happen so? Because men and women have different approaches to money. Men tend to think that women spend them light-heartedly and don't understand how hard they are earned. It doesn't mean that they are greedy. They simply think that women are squanderers. They constantly suspect their wives of being mercenary. Their image of an ideal woman includes disinterestedness. Women in turn dream about an ideal man, who will deliver them from financial problems. Contradiction is evident. Men often have sad thoughts about their chosen ones. They are afraid of finding out the sad truth about their women, i.e. that they love not them but their wallet. What should women do to prove the contrary? The only way is to be independent in everything. It means, that you shouldn't ask him to give you presents, not to allow him to pay for you when you visit a restaurant. Don't even let him pay for you in public transport. Thus he will really believe that you love him sincerely. Of course, it's a joke. Never try to prove these things to your husband. Don't let your man insist on this abnormal confirmation of your love. It is even illegal to prove your innocence. The more a man spends his money for his woman, the more attached he is to her, because he regards this spent money an investment. This fact is understood not only women but men as well. Men value their independence, that is why they are sometimes afraid to spend too much money for women in order no to lose this independence and not to become attached to a woman forever. |
