Merchant of Venice
In your opinion, is
money important in relationships? Consider the "transactional" element
observed in the relationships between the couples. Do you think there is an
upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities?
In my opinion, I feel
that money is not important in relationships, to a certain extent. In today’s
materialistic world, one has to agree that people choose their partners because
of their wealth. If a person enters a relationship with another person just because
he/she is wealthy, but the first person has never developed any form of
affection for him/her, the person will feel happy as he leads a comfortable
lifestyle. However, does he really feel happy? I feel that one only feels happy
if he/she loves his/her partner in their relationship and I think what matters
in relationships is the true love between the two partners. When one enters a
relationship with another person whom he/she truly loves, they will be willing
to conquer all odds to be together, and to live happily ever after, just like a
fairytale.
Personally, I think
that there is an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over
other qualities, as I feel that in today’s society, money has been placed the
basic of all needs and without money, one cannot even do a single thing. Almost
everything costs money nowadays, so when people find life partners, they will
find one that has wealth so that he/she can lessen the work stress that he/she develops
while trying hard to earn money to make a living.
