If you choose a person to be your husband or Wife which is more important to you the one that you love or the one that has money?

This is an easy one of course for love for me. Money wouldn't bring me love or respect for that person I'm with. I would only be with my husband because I love him and we are poor for sure so that proves for me that I'm in it for just love and love alone.

That is what you think. I have seen many people that are have money and they don't respect others that don't have as much as them or live in a nice house with nice cars and things. They don't respect them. So no money can't buy or give your respect. Respect is earned by your actions its not just given out and taken because you have more money, looks, a higher title then some one else. Those that should have respect are those that do jobs that no one else will do. That spend every waking hour to make not only there life better but there children and you know what they get nothing no respect because they have less then someone else that has it all because it was either given to them fell into and didn't even work that hard to get it. You don't just get up in peoples faces and say look at me I'm better then you so you better respect me cause I have more money and stuff then you that is selfish. If someone with a lot of money or even a small amount can give to others that really do need it then yeah they get respect for there action of being selfless. Why should I or anyone for that matter respect someone because they have money?
You asked what I would choice to be with someone for love or money. I answered I would never be with someone cause they have money. I would only be with them for love. Money couldn't give me love at all love is a feeling that is unexplained and money can not fill that part of human. You don't know what love is till you have a child that is unconditional love that is automatic you love that child and don't care why you love them but you do. That is love. Money can't give you that part of love why do I love this person why do I want to be with them. There shouldn't be words to why at all.

I think most of the people will choose love. Only loving that person, then you will wish to be together with him or her. If choose money, i think the relationship will not be last long and will not be happy. But for me, i am a realistic person, if can, i wish that i can have both of it, love and money. When you love the person, and have money, then your life will be more happy. :)

Money doesn't make your happier then you are only for a few months it will. The did a research about it, a few people who got 1 million Euro from the lottery to spend and they also followed a few people that were just disabled. After a year the people that were disabled and now it was going a better were even happy as the people who got the money. And of course i would choose for the love, because or human instinct prefer love above money.
And you can be happy with money but you are much happier with real love, so this wasn't a difficult question for me.

If there is choice I would choose a guy who would be at least able to take care of himself and me. You don't need to be rich for that.
Love will leave if you are always out of money and there is no future.
But a life without love and full of annoyement is hard too.
I think it depends on the person. They say there is always something to choose, so if so it means I gave a very very very poor basterd without any future a chance. We are married but live in different parts of the world. He is not allowed to come to my country.

If I were to choose between love and money, then for sure I will go for love. Money will come today and it will go away from you tomorrow. But people are not like that. Loved ones come in your life only once in your lifetime and once you let them go, they are gone forever. I would not want to regret the whole of my life for having chosen money over someone I love!

haha, that's a good question :D For me, it would be love. Im a guy who would only do stuff i love. That said, i wont want to wake up everyday looking at someone i dont love at all. it would be terrible for me== money is good, essential for living but firstly, im a guy. Well, i think most guys would choose pretty ladies to money, perhaps? haha! no offense. maybe im saying this because im not facing any financial problems currently, so i would easily say love than money.. so yea. currently i would say i choose love XD pretty immature right?

Love is most important to me, hands down. If you have love, you can have true happiness. Money doesn't give anyone that.

Okay, to be honest, I would choose a man because I love him and because of money as well. He doesn't have to be incredibly rich but it's enough if he can support our family. I don't want to be the only one working. I can't see myself being with someone that I didn't love as well.

For me personally if I love the person then money doesn't matter.
In my opinion which isn't everybody's opinion but a person should never marry for money they should marry because they love one another and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other and be themselves.

To me, love would be the most important thing in a relationship. If you choose to be in a relationship with someone for money then that relationship would not last very long at all. A relationship made for money only will become a burden for you after a while. You cannot carry on in life without love for very long. If you have love in a relationship then you can work towards making money to meet your needs and fulfill your wishes but if you have no love then what is the money all worth for...

in this day of recession. i think i need both combination. but in case still missing both of them. i think i would choose money fro practical reason even with a husband with or without money. i need to earn money from my own effort and not depend from anybody else. with my current situation i still single, so f ever i get to encounter situation like that it should be a combination of both. maybe, i need love but at the same time i also need to look for a partner that is financially stable or have a stable income and i am sure even him would also look the same criteria.

Can I choose both of them ....?
I think everyone gonna choose love rather than money. But we must realistic, love not enough for make happy life, money too. If you only have love but not have any money, how long your love gonna be last...? But if you choose money, it mean you choose fake happiness.
If I have to choose, I choose money (little bit extreme here .... he he he)

hi!i choose love too! Money doesn't matter as you love each other. Money cannot buy real happiness. I have experienced that already,it's hard to love a man because he is rich but no real love.
