Greeting to you steemians in S4N, How are you doing I hope you are doing well. I want to appreciate the cordinator of the contest for this week teg(NO MONEY, NO LOVE.)
MONEY; is very important factor in every individuals life. It helps purchasing of goods and services, without money transactions including health care service cannot be carried out.
Similarly, in relationship money is very important factors in helping the partner meeting their financial needs.

is there any relationship between the two contests (love and money) in a relationship.

Yes love involves giving and most of the things that need to be given for instance who needs to give her some physical cash(money) to meet her needs. The lady will appreciate him and will also want to be with him. But a situation where there is no money a lot of questions would be going on in the mind of the lady if truly the man loves her. Again, the Bible say in the book of Ecclesiastes 10:9b "but money answereth all things"

Can true love exist or thrive for a long time without money ?

When the man cannot provide the needs of the woman, he feels threatened and start behaving aggressively, while the woman may feel like ending the relationship or denying the man his conjugal right because he cannot provide for her needs. Initially, both may want to try to prove their love for each other by sharing in times of difficulties, but as time continues and things are not changing for good, their live for each other are under threat and questions.

Do you subscribe to this school of thought ? Back up your YES/NO answer with valid points.

I hereby subscribe to this school of thought that NO money, NO love. Though, in few and insignificant cases, love may exist without money but in most cases, money determine love in a relationship. I back this point of mine with the popular Nigeria slang "Better soup na money cook am". There is always happiness where there is money. People feel confidence and can buy the love of a partner through money. The Bible supports the importance of money by stating that "money is a defence" (Ecclesiastes 7 vs 12a) so money will defend the love.

Share an experience for or against the statement.

I witnessed a broken marriage because the husband cannot provide for the needs of the family and as a result he became so aggressive, beats the wife constantly and accuses her of being the source of his misfortune which he eventually at the end, throws her out. This was a couple who were deeeply in love before the man's source of income dwindled.
CONCLUSION, I support the motion that says "NO money, NO love. Money answers and helps to solve many problem which may pose threats toblove and continuity of the relationship.
