with the economic situation of the place we live in and everything is very expensive would you marry someone who is not stable financially? marriage is not some piece of cake, questions like: where will we live after the wedding?, who pays this and that?, who will do the chores when both of us are working?, how about when the children starts coming in?, and the list goes on and on and this involves money and if both of you are not financially stable this may lead to fights over financial matters and would make both of you miserable. on the other hand as long as both partners are willing to talk it out, live within the means and work hard, i don't think there will be money problems. but again this really depends on the couple. so would you marry someone who is not stable with their finances? what are your thoughts? Please share. :)

Well if I was in love, then I would marry someone who isn't completely financially stable. My fiance owns a few businesses, so I don't have to worry about money, but even if he weren't as well off, I would sleep on the floor with him-it's the love that matters!

hi ther... that's a tough question.... they say, as long as you are inlove, it will be fine but what about the basic neccessities? i think, it's better to have some kind of stability since it is really tough to survive for each meal and where's it coming but alot of people had triumph and will triumph over this. happy mylotting.

yes I would.
as it happens, my partner is on Disability living allowance and Incapacity benefit, which is hardly financially stable.
he has severe paranoid Schizophrenia and is unable to work.
but we've been together for nearly a decade, and it was only last year he became ill.
and I love him. next year we are getting married.
WHATEVER our future together is, it's TOGETHER.
and that's what marriage is about, not financial stability.

I am one of those people who would work hard for the money. My fiance and I are both unemployed, infact I quit my job to spend more time with him. We've looked for jobs, but noone has called us back. I know we are both worried but at the same time not. I think love conquers all and as people say money can make you greedy. We share our money, our bills, and our chores. It's never his or hers with us, in fact we share the same towel. Now whether you think it disgusting or not, that depends on you. Economic situation or not, if things kept going up we would earn, and earn. We would fuel ourselves to earn for whatever the price, but ofcourse we would decide if it was something we could make or not!
Anyway, I like the discussion!

As a child,I paid less attention to financial matters,even to the extent that I was blind to it.Hoverever,when I am older,it emerges.There is no denying that money matters in this realistic world,especially to those newlyweds who are not stable finacially.When it comes to marriage,the majority of people would like to marry someone who is rich,at least middle class.Such is human nature.We cannot live without money.But the fact is we can live without the boy or girl we ever loved.
