Some women admit that their principle (main) goal in life is to marry a wealthy man. Does such a principle is guaranteed to lead to marital happiness ?

It is not at all a good idea to search for a wealthy man and marry. We cannot buy everything with money. Love and happiness does not come with money or power. We cannot get martial happiness by just marrying a wealthy person, if he is not caring and lovable.

Never ever.. Personally I will not marry a man because of his wealth but because of love. In my own point of view women who have that principle wants the easy way out in becoming filthy rich. But then if you think about the long term in marriage its never only about money. Money is never equivalent to happiness. As long as there is money people will always want more which will not lead to happiness so with marriage. The couple will just argue all the time and the main reason again is money. So many movies portray girls marrying rich men because of money but in the end they do not end up happy. Happiness comes from within and is created when your husband has the same happiness that you give to him.

I do not think happiness happens in such a marriage because after the money is all gone, so will those women.

No, I don't think money brings happiness at all. I think money can create short term happiness. Like happiness of the moment. But not long term happiness.

I know plenty of men who would like to marry a wealth woman, like Oprah for example. Women or men who would marry with the main goal being money will surely be dissapointed if there are no common interests. I've heard that it's just as easy to fall in love with a wealthy person as a poor one, but I've not seen any examples of that in my life. If I were young, I would sure not want to marry someone like Donald Trump, or Bill Gates. There's just too many things about them that I wouldn't put up with.

She might be materialistically happy but not marital happy. I think it create an illusion for young ladies to look for wealthy husband because most of the "financially not-so-well" couples quarrel over bills, rental, expenses, etc every now and then. So, in the mind, find a wealthy husband escape them from all this disaster.

Money and possesions are a poor substiture for love. My husband and I never had much during our marriage but when you have love the bad times are bearable and the good times it is great to have some one you care about to share it with. Makes all the difference in the world.

if money can buy their happiness then I guess they will be happy, but in my case I prefer not to be overly poor or overly rich. Nothing guarantees marital happiness, you just have to work on it all the time.
