Would you marry for love or money?

Marriage might as well be looked at as a business deal. I wouldn't trust anyone enough to actually let them get close enough for "love" so a good solid foundation based on financial security and companionship is ideal. Especially ideal considering this is the way most marriages really were organized prior to the last hundred years or so. People didn't marry for love- they married for companionship, stability, and fortitude. And people stayed married because the marriage was a deal- You take care of me and I will take care of you. Now people "fall in love" and you see how long that lasts. Look at the divorce rate, look at all the family problems. Let's take it back to where it was, and get back to simple values.

i married for love, didn't do me abit of good. lol

Always and only for love. Money is not that important to me. I don't see how i could be happy with someone in a marriage if i did not love them.

I am marrying for love. I don't see the point of getting married to someone you don't just for the mean green. You do that for a while, just for the money, in my opinion will be probably divorcing that person afterwhile. But marrying for love, you will have a lifetime of being with someone you can wake up the next morning and smile. Someone you can grow old with, have disagreements, etc etc. That is more priceless than money will ever be.

I married my hubby for love because if I married my hubby for money I would of left a long time ago. I am happy with my hubby but some woman wouldn't be and it is what ever makes you happy. I know some woman that if their hubby ever went broke they would be gone.

marriage should be for love. marrying for money is not a marriage, its a business deal.

Marrying for love is better than for money. At least then you can be with someone you respect and care about rather than for artificial reasons.

hi Nasmasika I would marry for love, in fact that is what i did, I fell in love, married and we worked together to feed and clothe ourselve and to pay our bills and this was a great time. we had such a good marriage and we did get our bills paid plus we had a wonderful time while being married and that is something without price.

I don't want to be dependent on some man to pay my way. I'm not a needy girly, I don't care what brand name I have on or anything. I know there's a lot of cool gadgets and all sorts on interesting things out there, but what can really make me happy? There's just nothing that I could own that I couldn't get bored of. I guess I would marry for survival, but I sure wouldn't be happy.

If I had the choice it would definately be for love although if the guy I married had money that would be a definate bonus. I couldn't stay with or marry someone for money surely it would just make you feel cheap as a person...almost like you have been bought.

You pretty much said for us. I totally agree with everything you said.

I came from a sorta well off family and my husband was poor. I did not care, I married him for love. When we argue its always about money, but love is everything

hi masmasika i think it depends on what type of person you are for example tell that to collen rooney or alex gerrard there is no way they didnt marry to of the most richest footballers for nothing it all depends really id marry for love through and through i dont think i could be with someone for money and not be able to go near them its just not me but then again if i wasnt so independent and i had nothing and some amazing rich guy lifted me of my feet then yes proabley i would im onest but id be shewed im not stupid i wouldnt have him treating me like a fool id walkway with a lot of his money in the end put it that way.

Marrying for love or money i think is a hard decision. Money isn't everything and love isn't going to pay my bills - so I say do both. I have one aunt who told me to marry for money, and she is about to be 40 and still single. I have another aunt who told me to marry for love, she listened to other people's advice about marrying a divorced man and now she is 38 and still single. I married my high school sweetheart and he makes pretty good money and I have to say i'm pretty happy.

I'm probably never going to get married, but I would have to say neither. I would marry mostly for spiritual compatibility. I think that's the most important thing. Next would be personality compatibility and after that, companionship and shared interests. Love can come later. I would, at least, want commitment and respect as always. And emotional connection is also nice.

I would marry for love. Money will not bring me happiness if I'm not in love with that person.I think most of the people here will have same opinion that of mine. without love, there is no life. we can make money any time, through any ways. but love, it is difficult to give n get that. you wont get it so often. so don't miss it. therefore i would go for love rather than money.

i will be very marry only with my love coz money is the dirt of hands but love is god gift its for someone not for anyone.

I would marry for love. Love is something that last for ever, money doesn't. Plus you can earn momey later. Love is what makes you truly happy.

I would always pick love over money. While I don't put a lot of importance on money by itself responsibility, stability and ambition are very important to me. I don't want my husband to feel like he needs to work his fingers to the bone and never be home just to provide some ideal life for me. But I can't see myself with someone who is lazy and unmotivated. I need to be with someone who works hard and wants to do the best job that he can.

Marry for love. If you married for money but the person do not love you, even if he is rich, he wont share with you his richness. If your partner love you enough, alot...they will give you everything that they have.
