To give and to take...

Following the question asked by William weeks ago, another question I have for my fellow bloggers:

Lovers tend to give and take in a relationship. And that comes in many forms.

Thus, is it the material wealth or the love feeling that makes you happy? Is it better to give than to take or otherwise?

In my opinion, the feeling of love is what makes me truly happy. The material wealth would be a nice bonus, but it can't provide the same intensity or satisfaction that true love brings.

I'd rather be dirt poor and be in a solid, loving relationship than be ridiculously wealthy and be in a shallow, artificial relationship.

Good question, and I haven't forgotten about your meme! There's only three weeks left in the semester, so I've been quite busy. I'll post soon. I promise! :-)

I am willing to give anything if the person that I love truly loves me back. I want the feeling of love. I need not have material wealth but it can definitely be a bonus. I always tell people that relationship is not about how much money you have, what expensive things you get your partner to get you or you buy them. It's about getting together, knowing each other, appreciating each others presence, being comfortable with eash other, wanting each other, endless care for each other, etc. I think I might wanna blog bout this topic some time to come. Haha!

give or take is not the matter here.. the main matter is do u love tat person? if u love him/her, u wud do anything for him/her, vice versa... there isnt anything tat is fair on tis earth.. so be prepare to give more or take more sometimes.. but y do u matter so much ?! if the love has gone, i bet tis is when u try to think he is taking too much or u are taking too much... if tis happens, trust me, the relationship wud break in a short period of time...

material wise.. its not all about tat.. love oso.. not all oso bout love.. everything on tis earth is nids something else to support it to make it shine n better.. for example, human nids water... actually we wont die if we have water onli.. we can still survive.. but wat if food are given to us? we wud grow better n be a healthier person rite? it supports.. so.. with the sufficient amount of material is able to spice up ur love life.. so y not go for material's help if u are having problems with ur relationship? dun too rely on materials though.. things are meant to be ENOUGH.. not too much not too lil...

as for ur question, gor gor n i can chat n give comments via real person or via phone or msn.. so it doesnt matter if i comment in his blog or not.. wat matters most is the communication between gor gor n me.. n how many times do i have to tell u tat i dun have a crush on my gor.. y do u keep on repeating tat ?! are u even jealous at us? well.. its not ur concern if i have crush on him or not.. unless u r his bf or my bf.. in tis case.. u are neither.. so i do hope u stay away from tis pls.. n for the LAST time i m telling u, i have no crush on him! n thx for ur concern of my health n dropping by my blog.. thx

Don't think one can really describe either as 'better' ... but presumably in a balanced relatinship there should be give and take on both sides ... and that means in all aspects, not just the material things.

I'm a non-material guy anyway. Or should that be immaterial? LOL.

Both parties gotta give and take if you want it to really work.

But if material wealth makes someone happy then that someone doesn't need anybody else to be happy what. If a person is happy because his/her partner owns the wealth, then you can't really think much about that person right?

As for the love bits, that's important but we'll prefer that kind of familiarity once the honeymoon's over. That's something that, when you think about it, you'd be happy knowing your partner and you are comfortable with each other. And that's important!

if u ask me, i'd definitely say money is important. keeps the security in me ya know?

but truthfully, it's the feelings that matter most. if u're happy together with someone, u're happy. u'll want him to be happy, and u'll be happy and comfortable being with him. period. feelings.

Aryaduta:
Yup, I agree with you. Love feeling is indeed more important than material wealth.

Alan:
Yes, that's right. Knowing each other and understanding each other is one way to maintain the relationship.

Grumpy Boi:
Material to spice up your love life? Yup, but only to a certain extent only. Err... sorry lor... if I keep on repeating that offensive statement...

Hrugaar:
Both partners need to give and take in an almost equal proportion, or else it won't be fair to one of them.

Janvier:
Yup, both just gotta give and take. True, if material wealth indeed makes a person happy, there is no need for him/her to have someone else in his/her life.

Ah Bong:
Sure, a lot of people say that. It is true, since this world is built on money. But I do also agree with your thought on the love part.

Joshua:
Ah yes... love is all around us too!
