One of the first problems that will cause a couple to fall out of love quickly is unemployment. Once there is no money coming into a house, love will diminish. It has been my observation that love does not conquer the fact that people are unable to pay their bills and enjoy the pleasures of life. I have witnessed firsthand the problems that occur with the lack of finances. My aunt married her high school sweetheart, and has said several times that he is the only man that she has ever loved.
He had worked hard to be there. Akeelah was a single parent child and missed her dad a lot. We can see her talking to him even when he is no alive which shows that she missed him.

She was once in love but because her mother “was bedridden and helpless”and she “had to provide for two younger brothers”(Ibsen, 2011, p. 556) she was forced to marry for convenience of the situation.
