I would have said this a few years ago but...if one cannot support oneself adequately then the best relationship in the world can crumble to dust.

That doesn't make any sense. If you're broke and have no money, how can you enjoy being in a relationship with a great partner?

Seems like neither the job nor the relationship can be guaranteed to work out for as long as you want nor make you happy as long as you would want so....that is a tough one!

Can the love of your life relocate to your dream job location?

why does it have to be one extreme or the other?

you can find a job even if its a menial job doing something, at the same time you can find a person who is great where youre at....

I would probably take a good partner and a crap job rather than a good job and a crap partner...

you say "whats the point if youre struggling to make ends meet?" but in my mind a good partner would understand that and the struggle wouldnt be just yours alone it would be both of yours...

No, the job is permanent, pension, benefits, everything.

Love of your life cannot really relocate.

hmm....The job could still not work out but let's say you would happily have it the rest of your life.....How long have you known the person and how long have they been the love of your life?

Like Butterbean said, there are no guarantees.

God forbid, you could lose your job, or it could change and no longer be a great job, or employer could go under, etc.

God forbid, partner could leave, cheat, become crippled, go insane, die.

No guarantees in life, except for death and taxes.    :'(

I am surprised you did not mention personal ressurrection through Jesus Christ. Yes, I agree.

Many years ago I chose my career over my then partner.  It was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made—maybe the biggest!  I ruined two lives: his and mine.  If I had it to do over again, I would have done things very differently.  I have since moved on and found loving domesticity with someone else, but you never forget the one that got away.  :'(

Finding the person you really belong with is hard; finding satisfying work is relatively easy.

I don't think finding satisfying work is relatively easy. Far from it...if you don't have a good job, your entire relationship can suffer.
