I think its unfair to equate money and happiness. Alhamdullilah my family and my in laws are very well off and we live a very comfortable lifestyle and are happy but nevertheless I have seen my parents struggle to get where they are now and we were still happy back then when we had nothing.
This article is so ridiculous, it's not even worth discussing. Poor are always marginalized in Pakistan so this flawed article comes as no surprise.
However, I do believe money plays quite an important role in a blissful marriage -
Unfortunately, we can't serve 'love, respect, compassion and humility" for dinner everyday.
But this doesn't mean you have to marry rich. Just don't marry poor.
I think sometime ago i thought the same even now I sometimes think it must be true but when i see my mom's friends they have extraordinary money big houses but no respect from their husbands!!! they get beaten n wot not! so i think money does matter but its not like u should marry a rich guy!
While money cannot make a marriage...I think can definitely break a marriage. Serious financial issues can cause a strain on a relationship, if both parties are not willing to work through it.
A comfortable (not posh) lifestyle with some ups and downs is healthy for a couple, IMO.
