No, I would never marry because of money. It may influence me, in that I would find it difficult to be attracted to a long term unemployed person, who had little education. I could not put a cost amount on marrying for money.

There is really no cost in marrying. No amount of money could make us really happy.

NO and NEVER, money can never bring happiness in life though it is equally important in life but marry for money which i can not and never accept. I believe in hardwork and i am too confident that i can earn money and live a peaceful life.

Hard work yields money. But love yields a lasting relationship.

I see no reason anybody should marry based on Money. Personally, i am against such thing. Marriage based on Money will never last. what happens when there is no more money? The marriage collapses.So, marriage should not be based on Money rather on Love.

Money can be gone tomorrow. So the relationship that is based on it also.

Nowadays some girls would marry for money. But I think I won't do this. though money is very important and we can not live without money, we should marry for love. I think when we choose a man, his quality is the most important. And the second one is his ability. If this one has great ability and then he can earn money not long after though he may not be rich now. Anyway, this man should be kind-hearted.And he should treat me well. And his appearance is ok, that's enough. He doesn't have to be very handsome.

Generation today is so much different. Others could really take marrying for the sake of money.

I definetely wont do it. You can work to have money. But love isn't always easy to find specially a true one. Besides when you both love each other you can do better than that. But there are people I have known who married for money cause as they say before love can learnt. Now as I can see.. she is rich and she can have what she wants and go anywhere she wants but she said she isn't happy. Her husband doesn't stay long at home. Her kids are all in dorm. Then she said money isn't everything.

Hi,there! Well,I'll never marry for money,never ever. I think marrige should never base on money.That's not a good foundation for both.That won't be good for the family and the kids also.If there's no love between each other,it'll be pretty hard to make the relationship work.The family can't last for a long time and the course might make everybody suffer.Marrige is not a deal,not a business,so money can't buy it. I think it's priceless.It should base on love and understanding as well as trust:) Thanks for the discussion and have a nice day^_^

No man on this planet has enough money for me to marry him. Marriage for money is a stupid idea. I doubt it leads to a very happy life either since many who have money discover that it doesn't buy happiness!

If you are to seek the reason for getting married, money should not be the first consideration.

No.. Marriage should not be based on money.. Marriage is a bond of faith and oath of success life. But after marriage we should run for money to maintain our life style within our limitation and honesty.

alot of people do marry for money and we cant blame them because of this high poverty rate, given the chance and if i have no other choice but that then maybe i would also do that.

That's impossible. Although I love money, but I won't get married for money. As I want to marry to someone I love. Even if he is not rich, but we can work hard and become rich by our own efforts.

There is no amount of money that I would take just to marry someone. If I don't have love for that person, I can't see myself taking their money. Maybe I'm crazy, but it's just not something I could see myself doing. ~~Taz~~

It's not being crazy but being true to yourself. It is very hard to do something you are not at ease in doing.

Hi friend.well i think getting marreid is everyone's dream at some poin or the other in life.well for me i had love marriage.i married with a person who i loved a lot.however i know many friends and peole out there in my country who get married for money.this is not just the case for rural areas.the so called educated people ask for dowry befroe getting married.its really sad but the fact.i am not sure wheter love persists in those marriages or not but yes a sacrifice from girl's side is always evident since she can be illtreated if te dowry is less or not up to the expectation of guy's family.

People get marry for a whole range of reasons. But getting married for money for me...I would not do it. What happens when the money runs dry then would you get a divorce for it? If you can not love or be with the person how can you stay married to the person---money does not buy happiness. People have to make that out themselves and to do that you need to be happy with the person you are with and also for who you are...
