<\/p>\n
Do you really need a good standard of living in marriage?<\/p>\n
A debatable question indeed!<\/p>\n
There were days when I felt that love is enough for a marriage to be happy. My husband and I were more of friends. We treated our only daughter as our best companion. We were very rich in love, but very poor in money.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have love, nothing else matters\u2019 I used to tell my husband. But I was again and again proved wrong when we were thrust aside by the money minded society as non- existent because of our lack of affluence.<\/p>\n
Is not love the top criterion for a good marriage?<\/p>\n
Of course it is!<\/p>\n
But can love alone make your marriage work?<\/p>\n
It definitely cannot!<\/p>\n
Love is a very personal emotion that binds you and your spouse together. But you cannot buy a thing with your love. It is your money that makes you survive in a world which has its eyes focused on the dollars you have.<\/p>\n
Do you know your marriage struggles to survive when you have tons of love, but no money?<\/p>\n
Your love for each other can make you psychologically fulfilled, but does not in any way help you to maintain a good standard of living.<\/p>\n
The world has become so mercenary that you have to maintain a good lifestyle to be acknowledged. Though it is unfair to judge a person by the money he has, it has become the unavoidable trend of the modern society.<\/p>\n
It is a sense of well-being you feel about your married life.<\/p>\n
Yes!<\/p>\n
A good standard of living in marriage is more of a materialistic aspect. It has nothing to do with the compatibility you enjoy with your spouse.<\/p>\n
But strangely, when you do not have a good standard of living it does make you feel depleted and lacking in your married life.<\/p>\n
This mercenary world acknowledges you for what you are worth.<\/p>\n
Rather unfair, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
But it is hardcore fact.<\/p>\n
You might well say that you do not live for the world, but live for yourself and that you have nothing to prove to them.<\/p>\n
Of course, you cannot compete with the Richie riches. And you need not too. They belong to an entirely different category.<\/p>\n
