For real, finding the right partner to spend the rest of
one’s life with is not always easy. It comes with so many challenges as there
are factors to consider before settling down with one. While many would prefer
settling for a partner with good character, some would certainly see the
financial capability of the partner as a plus. Though experts say money should
not be the primary determinant in the choice of a life partner, how many people
would marry somebody who is not financially stable?
Here's what some single ladies and guys have to say on this
controversial issue:
I can’t have good life with a rich cheating man... - Kenny
Damilare
As enticing as it can be, I cannot marry a rich but cheating
dude. There are many STDs out there and it is sure that one day, he will
contract one of them, transfer it to me and then, I will start treating the
disease with the money. That is not a good life. Apart from that, since he may
think it is his wealth that attracted me to him, he may not respect me and may
not have much time for me. There are many ladies out there for him, you know.
With a poor but faithful guy, we can get rich together if we work hard. After
all, poverty is a status that can be changed with determination.
He can cheat, but he must be rich... - Anita Chi
Who needs a man’s faithfulness these days? It is unfortunate
that his faithfulness will not put food on the table if he is poor. He can
cheat for all I care, but he must be rich. And what even guarantees that the
poor faithful guy will not end up cheating also if he becomes rich? There is no
marriage that is 100 per cent perfect; compromises will have to be reached in
many cases and that does not portray the woman as desperate. My husband’s
riches will cover up for his cheating behaviour. I don’t care.
I don’t mind marrying a poor man who is ambitious... -
Abimbola Kajotoni
If a man is poor now but ambitious, I would not mind. It is
only a man that is poor and useless at the same time that a woman should avoid
by all means. He will frustrate you. Since poverty is a disease that can be
cured, I will rather go for a man who is poor now but who is hard working and
has the mentality of success than go for a rich cheating man who will keep
hurting my feelings and make me feel inferior. Success built together lasts
longer than the one which is not worked for.
Riches don’t guarantee a happy home... - Omalasoye Adeola
I cannot be attracted to a man because he is rich, even if
he is not the cheating type. I will go where my heart leads me. If God gives me
the go-ahead to marry the poor guy, I will go for him. I know that poverty is
not permanent. Meanwhile, we do not need to have so much money before we live
comfortably. In fact, riches do not guarantee a comfortable life at times. I
will rather marry a man who is faithful but has little money than marry a lousy
rich man whose wealth can even diminish at any time.
It’ll be very difficult to decide... - Badaru Tosin
A woman cannot know a man’s real attitude when he is poor.
If a man is poor but faithful, who knows whether he will change his attitude
when he becomes rich? Because the actions of human beings cannot be predicted,
I will only depend on God to make a decision. However, I will definitely not
settle for a rich cheating dude. He is not a better alternative. If a man is
rich but has natural weaknesses, that is better, but not going around town and
sleeping with other women.
A poor but faithful woman is a treasure... - Oremule Ayobami
I will go for a poor and faithful woman anytime, any day.
With her, my mind is settled. There will be no need to have high blood
pressure. There is no need to monitor her steps. I will have peace and respect
from her. I will also go to any length for such a woman to make her happy. I
will be motivated to work hard and make more money to take care of such a
woman. She will be a treasure that deserves to be well taken care of.
If she fears God and is rich, I’ll be happier... - Adewuyi
Seun
Marrying a rich cheating woman would only give one unsettled
mind and can even lead to one’s untimely death while living with a poor but
faithful woman can at least give one peace of mind. As for me, what matters
most is that the woman should have the fear of God, no matter her financial
status. A rich woman with the fear of God is okay because being poor does not
give the assurance that the woman will not cheat. If she fears God and she’s
rich, I will be happier. If she is poor and fears God, we can still build our
lives together.
I prefer poor, but encouraging partner... - Teniola Ayodeji
A man who is poor but visionary will not be attracted to a
rich woman in the first place. He will work hard and stay on course until he
also becomes successful. With this hope constantly burning in him, he will not
mind his present condition. He knows that one day, things will be better. If he
eventually marries a rich woman, he will count it as a plus to his life, not as
an opportunity. In short, I will not go for a rich, cheating partner. A poor,
faithful and encouraging type is better by far.
Marrying a rich woman can make a man lose focus... - Akande
Emmanuel
The truth is: money has wings and it can fly anytime. In
other words, I cannot marry a woman because she is rich not to talk of
combining cheating with her status. It is definitely a no-go area. A hard
working man like me will put in his best to ensure he succeeds in life against
all odds. In fact, marrying a rich woman can be a temptation that may make a
man to lose focus in life. However, if a rich lady has good attitude and we
love each other, of course, we can marry.
I prefer a poor but hard-working lady... - Aina Oluwakoya
Riches do not make marriage rosy. It is only faithfulness
and respect for each other that count. I will not sacrifice my self-worth
because of a woman’s wealth. There are so many rich couples out there who are
frustrated – some of them have no settled homes because they ignore the
foundation of a successful marriage. They are rich but lonely. I prefer a poor,
faithful, hard working and positive woman to a rich, desperate and cheating
one. With the former, we can turn around our fortune together and we will live
happily thereafter even when things seem not to be smooth initially.
