Answer by Happy Hiram
The economy has adversely affected the DIVORCE RATE, so who knows maybe poverty INDUCES marital bliss.

Answer by I’ll love you endlessly
Hmmm, Maybe people might be so blinded by their debts and financial troubles that they might not realize a great person has entered their life. But, if people can just try to stop focusing on their stress, maybe being happy and in love will fix their problems, or at least help them get through it.

Answer by littleroom
No. And for the person who said that our economy is raising the divorce rate, therefore poverty may mean marital bliss, they should understand that marriage does not equal to love.

I think money is too little a factor for love. Money may not allow us to express our love, but it certainly does not inhibit our ability to feel love. Plus, people have loved through war and sickness, so who can say that a recession will do anything?

I find it funny that *Nick* said that:

“No. Poverty and economic crises bring people back to their roots…family, love, and religion. The recession is showing people that money is not fool-proof, and that it can disappear into thin air. It is only loved ones and God that will never leave you. These are the only things in life that matter, and people realize this when their money no longer can satisfy their every desire.

For proof, look at the exploding number of people going to church these past few months that did not go during the past 20 years.”

First of all, don’t generalize people in saying that all our roots belong to religion. Not everyone feels that we need to have a religion to go back to our roots. And secondly, I don’t know where you got the statistic that people are now going to church that didn’t twenty years ago because of the recession, but if this is true, then it shows that religion is a crutch, nothing more.

Answer by *** U LOVE & see ME withIn U****
Its not fall in love but fall to hurt yourself.Actually we merge in love should be the right term for showing affectionate relationship in life. Love has nothing to do with economy crisis as true love lives in all level of problems and high lows in life.hen one engage to another with money as the motive then the divorce and whatnot will be seen to exist in life.

Answer by bigcherrybomb
nah when everything goes down one of two things happen. one people gather together and get closer. or two happens which is the opposite. more of one happens than two because when eveything else is taken away you still have the people you love to give you a helping hand. sounds sort of of pollyanna but still it is true.

“All that we know of love is that love is all there is.”

Answer by Rez Rostov
If history is any kind of indicator then it’ll be the opposite. The front end of the baby boom generation was conceived by couples who fell in love around the time of the great depression of the thirties and the tough times of war in the forties.
In tough times people are less shallow and gravitate to what really matters like love and companionship. When skinny little divas like Hilton lose their money who’s going to want what’s left? She can’t cook, she can’t haul firewood (lol) she doesn’t know how to work in or out of the home so after the party what good is she? She’s a street urchin’s mother in these coming times. Her illegitimate son will be selling shines for a buck at grand central with coal on his face (if he’s lucky he won’t be pedaling something else in this degenerate era). People want what’s real in tough times, men want a woman who isn’t afraid to eat a big breakfast and then roll up her sleeves and work. Women (I think) want a man who is strong and smart enough to hold up the rafters no matter what.
Seriously.
I think tough times are FERTILE GROUND for true and enduring love.

Answer by eclectic star
No. People fall in love all of the time no matter what the economic conditions are. However, we have become a society of expectations so “love,” as most people seem to see it, has placed significant stress on many relationships.

People worry about what they DON”T have, and ignore what they do have; each other.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence for most people so I would guess that, if anything, the opposite might be true. It might, however, seem more difficult for some to maintain a relationship if they somehow feel inadequate due to economic factors or if consumed by stress, which might lead to relationship issues.

There are no real statistics to support a verdict either way, but I would guess that the economy has little or no impact on the rate of individuals “falling in love,” but the associated stress probably has some bearing on how long people STAY in love.

People always seek love, it is a part of human nature. Good question!

Answer by domestic_minx
Depends on a person’s perspective.

Personally, my answer is no.

Answer by ☼ GƖơώ ✞ Ѡɪηʠs ☼
I truly believe this economic situation will bring the good out in people. They will become closer and show compassion for each other.
We will rally together in the face of adversity.
People will be forced to share more of themselves because money and things will not stand between them.
So, love should flourish! It will be the good part of a progressively bad situation.

I think I would think very carefully about having any more children.
They are expensive, will you be able to feed more children?
educate them or will they even be able to get a job?
