Many times people are forced into relationship which is not based on love that each one has for another but because of what one owns. Apart from a few who are sometimes forced by their parents, relationships based on wealth may not last long or else thus when a partner becomes poor, love automatically disappears. However, some lucky ones succeed in that riches may force him or her into love and the partner never becomes poor which makes someone’s dreams become true. Surely, no person would ever wish to get married or have a relationship with a poor partner, but we are well aware that there are some families staying happily although not rich. In that case, I must here say that riches should not be the focal point to determine one’s partner, but love. Considering relationship as an endless, it should have a strong foundation to determine its existence. A point to note is that basing on temporary means to start a long lasting project is not excellent. Implying that temporary factors like riches should not take the lead in determining ones` choice. Every sort of riches can be lost at any moment although it’s not automatic. Therefore when determinates of relationship is no more, the relationship too. However, you will agree with in that the situations of life have changed in many ways. The cost of living beside the luxurious life style that has taken-up the youth is an alarming situation that has caused relationships or partners to face it hard. Sincerely whose daughter will you convince when you are not ‘presentable?’ Being presentable covers a wide range of areas including ones education level, good appearance, ability to certain the relationship in all ways among others. When one considers all the above, they all finally rest at the economic potentials. Although partners are equally responsible for the existence of a relationship, male partners mostly in African countries absorb most or all the economic shock for the relation to go on. Without doubt, there are limited female partners who take-up some economic responsibilities to sustain a relationship hence males taking-up most responsibilities. Although relationships should have strong foundations, depending on life demands or to sustain a relationship, hard work is very important but the responsibilities should be shared by both parties. bab_su@yahoo.com
