Nowadays, virtual romance is as easy as picking apples. There are lots of instances that love is being replaced by financial security and fixed marriages. A lot of these are caused by fear of being alone and broke. Plus, love is being replaced by immigration papers or whatever. What makes me sad is, spontaneity of this thing called love is being erradicated slowly by compromising to the practicality of life. For me, its like removing the color from your telly and watching it without changing the program. I know money can make us happy, but money can't buy me love and that's for sure. How about you? Considering you're alone, broke, or just simply feeling that time is running out. Will you marry for love or for financial stability reasons?

That's a hard question to pose. It truely depends upon the person. I am in a relationship and both my partner and I are very happy. We both had good jibs that paid wel not too long ago and now we are both unemployed and struggle on a day to day basis financially, but we are still bith happy and madly in love. We both agree that you have to love the person deeply to marry them (one day we know we will make it down the aisle) and not just to marry them because of materialistic things. Like all couples we argue and lose our tempers with each other, we moan about money and winning the lottery! But still our relationship is as strong as ever as we love each other and above all trust each other.

i've always dreamed of marrying the one i love so i think there's only a little chance for me of marrying someone just for money. i'm saying that there is a little chance because i don't know what the future holds. if the time comes that my family is already struggling when it comes to financial terms, i'd probably consider the option of marrying someone rich. sometimes we have to do some sacrifices for our family.=D
