For me marriage is more important . Money is nice to have but it doesn't help comfort you when something bad happens in your life the way your spouse can . We have never had a whole lot of money ,yet we have always managed to get by and my husband is there for me where money would not be able to help .

Hey Sid, that's the good discussion. Standing at the age of marraige, I would say, I surely believe in happy marraige life compare to earn lot of money but not have good marraige life. Marraige is the relationship where you will going to share rest of your life with the single person. As far as money is concern, you can earn it at any time. So, I would surely prefer to have happy marraige life and average incomer rather than good wealth and not so good married life.

To be very practical it should be a combination of two. Marriage without money may not last for long. You need money to lead a happy marriage life. Ones partner should enjoy atleast the comforts she had been getting before marriage.

thanks for your response,, i would disagree to an extent, as for what i look in a life is peace, marraige is peace through mind and not peace through money, marraige is a relationship honed by 2 individuals who should take care of eachother's feelings and do the best of what they can do to protect each others emotional needs, ... , Human beings are considered to be as Social animals, society is of importance, and society starts with marraige and ends with divorce,,, for me ,,, peace/harmony is more important which a happy married life can surely provide

Well, I'm not married, nor do I plan to ever be. So, money is very important to me. Money is kind of a silly thing. But unfortunately, it's needed to get by in life.

Money definitely doesn't equal happiness. I know wealthy people who are miserable. But there are things in life that I want to achieve, but those achievements can't come for free.

I wouldn't say marriage because I'm an anti-marriage person but a good, solid, happy for the most part relationship is more important to me than how much money we have.
