When 2 persons can get together, its call 'yuan fen'.
To me $ is secondary matter, as we r human beings. If we r leong
(broke), we sure find a way out no matter how...dun tell me when u
r in need of $, u still stay at home and shake ur legs.
In the beginning of a r/s, most couples are in 'tian mi mi'
(honeymoon) period. This is call 'ai qing'.
However, as time flies, things may not be as perfect as u had
expected:
1yr later, becomes naggy (grumble abt dis and tat)
2yrs later, becomes demanding (y u do dis and not tat)
3yrs later, becomes .............
Juz assuming only, dun mean all couples la.
but When 2 person are together for a couple of yrs or rather mths,
naturally, both will get used to each other, be it flaws or beauty;
and if they r meant for each other, they grow old together, loving
and accepting one another for whom they r. This r/s is base on 'gan
qing'.
One cannot use $ to measure the importance of ur love. But sad to
say; in this world, there r women who go for $.... depending on
case by case.
A person's wealth is in his brain, not in his pockets.
