Would you marry solely for money?Would any of you decide whether to marry someone or not based on how much money they had? And if so, how much money would it take?

I can't see myself marrying for money. I think that I wouldn't feel that the relationship was 'whole/complete' if I entered it for money in the first place - and therefore was being untrue to myself regarding my own life partner would just feel so so wrong! It would be very cool to meet someone, fall head over heels in love and then realise that they were rich though!!...:-)

This question can't be answer by most of us? For those who are rich they may find for their love one more than money. They won't care for much I guess? But for those who desperate for money, they will willing to marry someone that they don't love but marry for money. For me, I want and wish to marry the one I love. And also the one that will willing to sacrifice together in my life or his. This because love need both sacrifice? I willing to be with him no matter how? because he is willing to sacrifice everything for me.. thanks god for giving a wonderful bf for me.

I will never marry for money. I've been married to a wonderful man for over 3 years now. And he didn't had millions. But we are happy and we grow togherther and I think thatis the most important. Yes money can buy you everything your heart desires, but it can't buy you happiness or love...

Personally, I respect the sanctity of marriage. I believe that the reason for it is love alone. I would never marry a man just because of money. I would not sacrifice may happiness for any material thing.

For the most part, and in my opinion, those who have money are not the marrying type.. atleast not for me. Not everyone who is rich acts the same but those who do, I would not be able to stand. My fiance and I are not rich by any means, but we are rich in love.. that's the only kind of rich I like!

My boyfriend sometimes says to me: "Why don't you find a rich man instead of me? You deserve to be with someone who can buy you everything you want and I can't do that" but I am not looking for a rich man, I already found one. He doesn't have a lot of money but he is rich in love, and that is all that matters to me. I am not rich in money and I don't know if I will ever be, but if I lost my boyfriend I would be poor. Really poor.

I do not think that I could ever marry for money. I think that you have to marry for love or else you will not be truly happy. No amount of money can make you love someone or make you happy with them. Now if you loved them for who they are and they had money it doesn't hurt.

I would never marrry solely for money. In fact I will be getting married in september to the man of my dreams whom i'm so in love with. That being said, I do think it is important for your partner to have aspirations with a goal currently being worked on.

Marriage is a sacred act done only by two people who are deeply in love with each other. The only reason of marriage must be love alone and nothing more. I would never marry a man just because of money. I don't want to be unfair to any of us.Money can, indeed, buy everything EXCEPT HAPPINESS. I would never exchange my love and happiness for money or any material thing.

Well if there is love in it why not there is nothing wrong with that. But if the marriage is based only for comfort I guess you have to think tice as you may end up living a comfortable but unhappy life ahead of you.

yes and no. its hard to say if i would or wouldn't. i think that it depends on if i love the person and if they love me back, or if it just them that loves me. i just don't see the point in marring someone for their money. what happens when they run out of money, then you really have nothing left. i think that if it came down to it i don't think i would. i need more in life then just money. money is good in all but it really doesn't buy you everything like love and happiness.

Given the right conditions, I just might. And right now, the "right conditions" are not present, which are: if I wasn't in love (too bad for the rich, I'm already taken) and if I don't feel like I will ever fall in love. Then I might as well seduce a rich guy and use up all his money to do the crazy things I want to do when I become rich - spend on what I want: build schools and education people and sponsor students, etc! That'd be cool.

Personally, I would marry for love. Not all the money in the world could buy my love, it would buy me mysery if I was not in love. I suggest you follow your heart. Money might make you semi secure but it is worthless to think it could replace the happiest feeling in the world. However it would be a big bonus if the person you fell in love with was rich.

I would never marry for money, not for any possible ammount in the world. I truelly believe that marriage is all about love, that you have to feel like this person is the one true love. You cannot possibly promise you will be in love for ever and ever, because anything might happen which you cannot forsee. but I do believe you have to think that the love for the one you are with/ want to marry Could last forever. if you think it can, and if you want to marry at all, then i think it's a good call. otherwise i would never get started! About how much money they have, no that would not matter to me. off course it would be easier if this peron was rich, it would make life a little less complicated, but it wouldn't matter concerning my decision whether or not to get married.
