When my husband and I started dating, he was 19 with no job. My dad gave him one. We've been together 12 years and we are not rich, but I don't regret it. I grew up with a money hungry mother. She never has been and never will be happy. I am happy. I have a home. 3 beautiful, healthy kids. It may not be the greatest life to all, but it's all I need.

For an adult people, it is not wise to marry a poor man without any future. If the man is poor for the moment and you can see that he may have bright future, you can marry him and support him. Is this way, he will be grateful to you even when he becomes famous. Just for love to marry is not enough for a good life. We all know it is pathetic to marry just for money. But it is also not good to marry for love. A perfect life consists of love and economic basis. So I do not agree to marry just for love, even pure love. It is not realistic enough.

i agree to you..what you said makes thousands of sense.. but a lot of people regret for their choosing..what the reason??i think that will be that they cannot see the men's future in right way..

I've been married to a poor man before. Well.. his a professional but he's not really earning much. Status wise, I can say he's really poor. But you know what, that doesn't hurt me nor lessen my love for him. I can stay married to him for the rest of our life if he just doesn't womanize. :( So sad, married to a poor philandering man... maybe that's why I've let him go...hahhaha!!

i dont think i can marry a poor man, let's face it, in a marriage its not all about love you also have to face reality that love alone cannot help you sustain and cannot put food in your plate. money is always the issue in marriage and its not healthy at all. There should be balance in everything. you get married because you are ready to raise a family and being such financial stability should always be the first in the agenda. you cannot let your kids eat grass or whatever.

I did marry a poor man. I have regretted it ever since. if i could back and do it all over again i would have chosen a man who was a lawyer or a doctor. I did have a guy i dated who was a lawyer. But since i cant change it all I can do is go forward.
