Can Money buy love? |
I recently shared an interesting quote by Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues. What do you think about it?
I had mixed reactions reading about it. When you read about love from a psychological point of view. It brings out the sacredness of love and how it relates to the sacred aspect of our lives.
The other element it looks at is the emotional life that love seeks to fulfil. According to an article in Psychology Today, love cannot be bought but only the occasions and situations that help us find it can be enhanced.
I think these are some important questions we ask ourselves. Maybe there are situations that compel us to reflect on life in this way.
On the other hand, however, we may try to rose coloured love, but there are practical aspects to a relationship we cannot ignore.
Love thrives in situations and so does our relationships. If care and attention are important for a good relationship so is the practical parts of it.
I think as we learn from the good and bad parts of our relationships we grow and learn new things. There may be many guides and articles on the science of a healthy marriage or partnership, but I think giving our best and learning actively about the other person is important.
I think sometimes we tend to fit things in a framework. This may suck the freedom and life of the other person.
The other problem is this hopeless political game of power. Yes, Power struggles can be real in a relationship.
There could be many more problems, Some are practical problems like Time or money.
I think anything worth the while has its struggles.
