"Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 17: No Money, No Love."

Everyone's definition of love is different based on understanding. What love means to you might not be what it means to me.

So love is what you say it is. Love could mean money, gifts, affection, romance, advice, etc...

Mone,y on the other hand, is any medium of exchange that is accepted by people.

Yes, love and money co-exist in a relationship. It was during the days of the old that love was blind, but now love can see all things. And then I do hear that money can't buy love, is it still true today?

From my little understanding about love and money, I strongly believe that a man who claims to love me cannot fold his arms and watch me suffer, rather he will put in his best effort to support me.

A parent who loves their child will always give that child the best of everything. They must have that sense of love from their parents. We all had or have best friends we love, the friend could be same sex with you, and because you love them so much, you can sacrifice your money for them.

Money without love is not complete and love without money is incomplete too. Money, the most common topic of disagreement in relationships. In relationships today, money can work without love but love cannot work without money.

Yes, if it istrue love. True love is pure, sweet, painless, peaceful, kind, gentle, etc... True love can last for eternity without money.

When true love is in place, there are so many things that are not brought to the table. So many errors, excesses seem invisible because of love.

In true love is where this saying "money can't buy love" exists. When you genuinely loves a person, you don't even care if he or she can afford your needs or take care of you, then you are blind in love.

Although love and money works together but when it comes to true love, the reverse becomes the case.

Yes, no money, no love. And No when it's true love.

No money, no love is what is common in today's relationships. It is common with young ladies and even the the young guys. This mindset has led a lot to their early grave.

People believe that there is bed of roses somewhere, that they can just walk their way into it and life is good. No relationship is built on a stone, both have a role to play and it shouldn't be one sided.

I think this thought, no money, no love exists where there is no true love because true love is priceless.

Permit me to share a story for this thought.

A young and beautiful lady fell in love with a promising young handsome man. This man has no job but the lady never saw his lapses but she never knew this man had already found out so much about her and the best part was that she's wealthy.

The man asked the young lady out for the first time and she was so happy that this man of her dream is making advances on her.

She looked stunning on the first date. She was so charming that the man fell in love forgetting his purpose of wanting to date her. But something happened.....

They got married after months of courting and the marriage was rosy, peaceful, lovely, romantic and above all love leads.

Let me tell you what this man had planned for the young lady; he planned to collect a certain amount of money from the lady and leave her but it didn't work so he relaxed and enjoyed the love.

The lady on the other hand had planned to break the man's heart when the time was due for her and guess what? She did it.

This beautiful, rosy relationship grew for 2 years and when it was time for the lady to strike, she left without saying good bye. She only dropped a note saying that she has gone for life and she sold all her properties leaving this man with nothing, absolutely nothing.

This is where love becomes wicked. So the lady left him because she has the mentality that love without money from the man is not love.
