love should have NOTHING to do with money.
seriously.. if you have to ask this question you're not in love.

The best answer to this question really depends on the will power of the people involved. If the two people involved truly love one another, then yes you will make it through, even if you are going through something as bad financially as a bankruptcy. Money never has been what makes a marriage or a relationship anyway. The love of the two people is what makes the relationship live and breathe and survive.
I will use my wife and myself as an example. I have had 2 layoffs in the last 3 years. To say the least, we are broke. There have been times when we have been really strained. There have been times when we had one bill left to pay, it was already 30 days behind and no way to pay it. We could have robbed Peter to pay Paul, but Peter had already been robbed. We have been married now, going on 5 years. It is very tough going. I am working basically 2 full time jobs now. We have determined not to let finances ruin us. Our faith in Jesus is what drives us on toward our mark of being debt free someday. I hope you have a faith system. Sometimes, all that is left, as has been in our case, is your faith.
You will need to make that determination yourself.

Of course! I've been married & deeply in love for 20 years and we've definitely had our ups & downs. We've never taken our finances out on each other. Unless the finances is solely the responsibility of one partner that doesn't care then it should be able to be worked out....that is if it was ever really love.

Yes. Just always remember to make time for each other and agree not to talk about money. Remind yourself of the vows you took when marrying each other. Finance can always strain any relationship. Just have to be positive and look for the good. So, you can't spend money on a night out, yu can however take that time and spend it together. Enjoy each other. Be honest with each other. Set short term goals and long term goals. Try to come up with solutions together and always be willing to listen to one another. And Never Ever go to bed mad. always take the time to say I Love You.

Of course it can! The love of my life and I started out in a studio apartment hundreds of miles away from home and family. We had the contents of two suitcases, a sheet, two big bean bags, a cardboard box, a transistor radio, a deck of cards, one small pot, two plates, two forks and two spoons. The memories of those days are some of the best memories of my life!
Being broke will either break you up or bring you closer together. Many relationships are stronger because of the hardships they survived TOGETHER. Make a decision and make it work.

If one person is being irresponsible with money it causes great problems. If one person spends too much it causes great problems. Money is very important in relationships. Your significant other should treat yours and their money with respect and not waste it. Like if one person quits their job and the other person has to support both, with one lying around the house being lazy and slobbish. That is a problem. But if both people are trying their best to make things work and being responsible then temporary hard times over money are possible to get through.

Love should not be based on how much/how little someone makes. To break up with someone just because they are having some money problems is a very shallow thing to do.

Yes, it's not easy though...You just have to be thankful for the things you DO have and not dwell on the things you DON'T have!! Be respectful of each other and always acknowledge and appreciate the little things.

Perhaps, but it shall surely be put to the test.
Proper amounts of $$ is an excellent lubricant to life's many frictions.
