The question of whether love should lead or money should dominate in relationships has always divided opinions. In a world where economic pressure weighs heavily, many young people, especially women, are caught between choosing affection and choosing financial stability. For some, dating for money is not an option, it’s survival. For others, it’s a betrayal of true love.
An engaging discussion unfolded as studio guests and callers passionately dissected the issue. With personal stories, biblical references, and cultural insights flowing freely, the debate revealed how deeply the matter touches everyday lives. “Money answers all things,” one panelist quoted, while another insisted, “Love without money can collapse under pressure.”
It all came alive on the GTV Breakfast Show on September 26, 2025, where Reverend Nana Yaa, a regular guest, described dating for money as a dangerous gamble. She argued that when deceit enters relationships, the consequences can be grave, not just emotionally but spiritually. “Be honest, if you don’t love someone, don’t take their money, because every seed sown comes back in harvest,” she said. Her call for transparency struck a chord with many listening.
Yet others on the show offered a more pragmatic view. In today’s harsh economy, where unemployment and poverty persist, dating for money is seen by some as a legitimate survival tactic. The popular phrase, “It’s better to cry in a Range Rover than on a bicycle,” was quoted to highlight how financial comfort influences decisions, even if love is absent.
The conversation ended with one truth everyone could agree on: there are no guarantees in love. Whether you marry for money or for romance, both paths carry risks. What matters most, Reverend Nana Yaa concluded, is honesty, mutual respect, and the courage to face life’s uncertainties together.
