Marry money or love?

If I had to choose money or love, then love would win, as is the case with most people. However, if I was not in love with anyone, and I had the chance to marry someone that was rich AND I at least found them attractive, I would definitely consider it. Money is not the most important thing in the world, but it can certainly help you lead an easier life. Love is more important than money, so if I was in love with a poor guy and had the offer from a rich guy I didn’t love, I’d take the poor guy every time. And as for the obedience thing... I live in the UK, once we are adults here, we generally do what we want to do and not have to obey our parents...

I would have to say neather...I have married, because I loved....Twice and ended up in a controlling, cheating home. With men the ended up being pur pigs. If I had to do it all over again. I would not marry at all. I would rather be alone then treated the way I have been...True Love is only for the lucky. And I have never been lucky enough to find that. And now that I have lost my youth, I don't plan to look for it any more.

I married for love and I could dream of getting married for money. Of course money makes things easier and everyone needs money but there is no way I could live that way. I married my high school sweetheart and we will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary on Saturday. I couldn't be in a loveless marriage. I want to be happy and having that kind of life is unrealistic to me. Who would I share my feelings with? I would rather want a relationship that is a partnership. My husband is my best friend. I don't think I could have that bond that I have with him if I was with someone for the money. We grew up not having much and we struggle sometimes now. We have enough to get by but we make it work. If we are ever going to be rich, it's going to be because my wonderful husband and I make that happen. I don't even want to be rich. All I ever hope for is that we always have enough to pay our bills and have enough for what we need with a little extra to be comfortable. I don't need a lot.

Why does it have to be a choice, that makes it so hard. Why cannot I have love and money. I guess it would depend on how much the love was that I would have to give up and how much money, I guess we all have our price. Are you talking about yourself or is this a hypothetical situation.

Sometimes I really don't know how to balance love and money, I think I love them both. I was poor when I was a little girl, and I know very well how it feel when live in poverty. So when I have to make a choice between rich and love, I would prefer rich. I am too afraid of being in a poor situation, and I believe that love will disapear by staying in a poverty situation for a long time, just like my mon and my dad. They quarreled a lot for money at that time. Without money, there's no beautiful flower, no candle night, not entertainment, and no forever love. I hope that the rich man and the handsome man is just the same man. But god seldom make a person so perfect, or even there's such a perfect guy, not mine.

Maybe i don't chose either of them. For one thing, because i am poor , so i want a easier life in the future, so, i may find a person who is rich; for another , i aslo want one who love me indeed, which also can give me a easier life in the future; thirdly, i don't like one who is rich but no a certain skill to survive in the world after run out of the saved money, nor the one love me and no skills as the former one. in a word, i want some one who is able to earn money and who really love me. on these points, Do you still think that i want a person like you describe above?

I'll definitely go for LOVE!! No matter how poor I am, I just can't marry anyone that I don't love at all, no matter how good he is. I'll rather not marry anyone. If I really need money, then I'll prefer to work very hard to get money, and to use my own money to give my parents a happy life. I believe my parents do think the same as me, they wouldn't want their child to marry someone who she doesn't love.

There is no doubt that money makes mare go. Money is basic need for a successful life. Beauty is available in your surrounding in abundance, but it is very tough to seek and gain money. Rich people could buy every sort of pleasure. They could enjoy the life and also can gain the right and reserving the seat at paradise. But a poor person or poor family passes the life very tough and hard. Love for money is a hobby of wise people. So it is good to see that the person to whom you are being married is rich or poor.

I can relate to your topic because we are a poor country and most of my fellow citizens would choose marry love but not all I think. In my case if I'm very poor I would still do the same I marry money because later I might be developed and fall in love with the man while if I follow love some marriages later in life would end up divorce because as years goes by love will fall out. But luckily in God's grace in my life I belong to an average earning family so I was able to choose the love of my life.

I would definitly marry love! I think the case would be completely different though for those that are rich and had to choose to marry some one that was poor or rich. would they want to lose what they have for a poor man or keep what they have and marry just because of money. some parents would take away all the money they have for their child if their child chose to marry someone that didn't have money and a sucessful career.

No doubt for love.Money can make me live easier but if I have my love,I won't choose money.If I haven't found my love,I would consider it.By the way,even if I'm obedient to my parents,but marriage is my own thing.I definitely choose the guy I love cuz I live with him for the rest of my life,not my parents.

Hi, I would definately marry love....money doesn't contest anywhere near to love. A person whom you never love canot make a beautiful life with whereas with love all hurdles could be overcomed

Loveless unions is very formidable. You will be not happy in the rest of your life if you marry with a rich guy/girl who you don't love. If you marry with the poor guy/gerl, it is possible that you can make a rich and happy life with the poor through hard work.

i married love and probably that was the reason why many fingers pointed at me.. for me he was the only one. he might not be rich, he is even not able to gift me a new dress or jwellery every month.. but he is a perfect man just for me... the Rs 20 lays chips packet which he gets for me every week brings a broad smile on my face.. may be a smile which even an expensive jwellery would not have bought... and he is proud that he could make me smile... even i am, that we are a happy couple rather than a rich yet unhappy couple... we both are struggling and we run our livelihood amidst selfish and self-centered relatives and in-laws. yet i try my best to live for him and he does the same... the only prayer that we both have is to live together and i know God will grant it.. we are a couple who donot run after riches but yet we have 2 big diamonds... one for us each.. OUR HEARTS EXCHANGED..!!!

Well it is an interesting problem. If the girls family was poor and she had the chance to marry money then her family would pressure her to do so. Many rich ugly men have married beautiful women in the hope that their children turn out more attractive. The promise of a comfortable life can be a real lure. For me it was not a concern. I have never wanted to be rich, comfortable yes but not rich and I do not like a lot of what rich people do to others and the environment. For me there is no question I choose love every time. But I know a girl who married for money in an arranged marriage and was scornful of anyone who married for love.

I would probably marry for love, I would rather be happy and poor than have all the money I want and be in a loveless marriage and being unhappy. I'm just not that kind of person, I grew up poor, and I will probably always be that way, but I'm a happy person and I have wonderful marriage to a poor boy...lol.

You can always find ways to earn more money but you cannot create love. Of course, I would want to take my time to get both of the young men much better to be sure what I thought was love, for the poor one, was really love and not just an attraction. I am married 33 years and did date a few guys with money. Not that my husband was poor but he was not rich, either.

Love!!!

If I was young I would marry for love. But if I knew then what I know today I would marry for money.

I will marry for love. Money is easy to find when you are hardworking, financial aspect is not really a big deal to look for because you can both work hard to earn for a living. Now adays parents are more understanding and they respect their children's freedom to choose for a spouse. although money is very important in our lives for survival, but the validity of marriage lays on the foundation of a relationship which is love and trust. In fact, catholic church prohibited a marriage outside the freedom of love. There's only one valid reason to get married, that is-genuine love and nothing else.
