In a time of soaring inflation, love may just come at a cost. Money is considered important for any relationship—romantic, business or familial—to survive or thrive. But having it as a love language where romantic partners surprise each other with wads of cash is another thing entirely.
That is why there
are different love languages to accommodate various preferences and choices.
However, in a situation where money is used as a way to appreciate and show
affection to a significant other, there are some considerations to be made.
Should money then be recognised as a
love language? If it is used between partners with conflicting love languages,
how can the situation be managed so that both parties can reach a middle
ground?
Some of the things you can do if
your partner gifts you cash include:
Appreciate
them
It costs nothing to say a 'thank
you'. Even if it's not your cup of tea, the thought also counts. People tend to
spend money on whom they love and/or respect. And if your partner—who is caring
and considerate in so many other ways—gifts you cash, don't take it as an
indictment of your relationship.
Document
it
It's very easy to get comfortable in
a relationship and forget the little gestures that go a long way in making it a
successful one over an extended period of time. If you don't fancy cash, still
document it. It helps you to remember the things that can easily skip your mind
so that you don't take your partner for granted.
Talk
to them
Granted, you'd prefer they become
more hands-on around the house or wake you up with daily words of affirmation.
But if you don't tell them that you value other things just as much or perhaps
even more than the cash they gift you, they will never think they need to
adjust.
Listen
to them
It's a relationship because both of
you are in it. So, hear them out. What reasons do they give for gifting you
cash? They may have a cute, little note attached to it. Or they add a bouquet
of flowers but somehow, money steals the shine because it is, well, money. So,
let them also tell you what they think. And both of you can come to a mutual
agreement.
Every relationship
is unique. Find what works for you and drown out the noise.
