"Don't rush. Marry someone who has a good job."

Yeah, nowadays when one thought of settling down he/she must think/foresee what their future would be just in case she/he had already picked his/her partner to be in life. Due to economic situation we are experiencing now it's just wise to choose a partner who had a stable job. If possible both partner must. What your relative had said should be applied today.

tess quinain If you select based on love only then one may not look into job, status, educational qualification etc. There are many instances highly educated people marrying people who have not studied even graduations. For life -- health, wealth, beauty, compatibility -- are required. In my view women should marry by the time they reach 24/26 years age. Men should get married 26/28 years age. apart from job the behavioural pattern, habits, likes and dislikes of a person is also important before deciding on marriage issues.

I partly agree with that. Yes, life is difficult these days. It would help if you could marry someone who has a stable job. But I don't think you should go off guy hunting for a professional just so you'd be secured financially. I think that the idea of getting your partner to be financially responsible is better. This way, you don't 'look' for it, but you both develop into people who are secured financially.

I once used to think like you. I thought that we never know the one we are to marry might have a stable job now... but what if later when we are already married with the guy he suddenly lost his job? We never really know what will happen. But like what most people are saying, I also want to marry someone who is capable of supporting me and our future family (kids future of course)... hopefully all will be well... am not rushing now

For me not only someone who has a goodjob but also a person with good attitude should be the person to marry. Someone who will not take advantage of you during times when you fall.

Yeah, it's wise to take into consideration the financial capability of your partner but If you want to marry someone base solely on how thick their wallet is then you will wind up with a pretty costly divorce.

Who and What can guarantee there is always "stable job and income",especially by now day,anytime could be economy crisis happening?If someone prefer "marry someone who has a good and stable job",why not they don't try to changing themselves into these kind of human being?

hi there, i have been wanting to get married too but i know i can't afford that yet, my boyfriend can but we are taking things slow. he wants us to settle down in 2 years but i also tell him that i should work first and be financially stable. i also want to be able to provide for my family in the future, and it is really different when you also earn your own money and not depend on just the husband.

if you calculate your love then you can marry with who has a good and stable job as your friend said. if you just follow your love, just married with who both you guys are in love each other. It is really hard for me having a feeling with a guy, so that i always do as what my heart want, do marry with my love. I don't care he is the poor or rich. Money is not the key that makes me happy. of course life is so hard without money, but think back what will happens if you guy think of money only? the rich people who may not happy with their money also, they need something else as the love, caring, etc... By the way, it is very complicated and you should know what do you really want in your life. If you need money, find a rich man to marry, "the rich" is the top of your list requirement. With me, love is the top of my requirement...money is may the fourth or fifth...:)

It's true. In reality, love is not just saying "i love you" words to each other; its a matter of how capable that "i love you" to sustain a family. I'm not saying here marry a rich person if theres no love then its not worth it. I mean, as long as both of you are capable of doing anything to work everything fine,then money will not be a problem.

Hello friend, You are right. Job is very important in todays life. I also agree with you. Have a nice day.

While that is true, of course, you'd still want to be with the person you have feelings for. I also don't believe that we'll have a happy marriage if we don't even have money to buy food and other needs. So, its important to have a good source of living before marrying someone. If your boyfriend or fiance cares about you and your future together, he should find himself a good job.

I think you should marry for love. You can always get a job too, You dont have to rely on a guy to bring in the money. Getting married because you love each other is the best way to go, because then you know he will support you in every way mentally, physically, emotionaly, and spiritually...

hopefully you can dream and hope come true and you can get a husband who is an established...

To be honest, I think it is important to marry someone who is hard-working. Life is difficult enough, it would be even harder if we had to survive on just my income. My husband has a decent job but it is only enough to cover our basic expenses, nothing left over for savings or for anything fun.

So, your concerns in love are mercenary, so are those of hoars all the best urban

I got a stable job, good educational background, but with marriage I don't rush things up, It's carefully choosing your partner you want to be for the rest of your life. It's not a one stop shop that you can buy as a commodity but it has to be treasured till you die. I believe that it comes to you when you are ready for it. If that someone really loves you he will stand for the family and look for ways too earn, it is not really a requirement that you really have to have a good job before you can marry, but the level of maturity of an individual capable in looking for ways and means to earn for the family

HI sis!! A partner with a good job is not only the factor for us ladies to think when it comes to marriage. I am sure there is much for us to look at to before we make a decision but usually love only can make us blind....money is essential but if we can work it out it will be no longer an issue. It is up to an individual as it is different from one and another.(^^)

yes it is true.that marrying someone who has work or stable is good.But did you ever realize that in this earth all things are not perfect.Yes we have plenty of money but have you ever noticed that those who have much money are those people who happy.Why because they dont have plenty of time to their families, to their love ones.

"Don't marry someone you can live with, marry the person you can't live without" is a well-known quote that applies here. Marry someone you love and who loves you in return. Money is incidental. Marriage is a partnership. Don't look for someone who can support you, marry someone who you can build a life with...together...as partners in everything including expenses.
