When I was in college I always tell myself that I would use my head not my heart- be pratical. But I was wrong- I chose love.. How about you?

I know a lot of people, expecially girls want some rich husband and they don't really care if he's a good man or old, and if they can be happy with that then I'm glad for them. I could not choose to marry someone only for the money, I could marry someone that is not very wealty but gives me all I need in the sentimental side and I would probably try to make our family wealty togheter with her. So I choose love no doubt.

While money makes things in life easier, it is not the end all. I personally married for love. We are not rich by any stretch, but we work together towards our goals. At the end of the day, money cannot be there for you when life is hard, when you need love, affection, and support. I am happy that I have a good man by my side who loves me unconditionally.

Through out my life I hv been practical in all my decisions. But in this particular field, it were our hearts which decided and we chose love. I m happy to say we hv been married for 11 years now.

There are a lot of things which are valuable than money. It's miserable if you own nothing but money in your life. Love is a prized possession. My husband is not rich. But I love him. We can work hard together to get the things we want. I can't bear living with a man whom I don't love, even though he is very rich.

Hi! the only thing, which is greater than life is the love- the love to the family or the love to the partner. So I can fairly say, that I will marry for love and not for money, because money will not make me so happy as love will, and money can warm me so good as love can

marriage will be successful if there is lave and the union of hearts. Money will come and go. When the couples are united and stand for each other at least when their children grow up they come up in life. Wealth will gather.

Of course I would marry out of love. I don't give a damn if the guy is broke or not because as long as they love you it's okay! Because if you marry for money, you'll feel that emptiness without that fuzzy feeling even though they're spoiling you like crazy with luxuries. Sure some people beg to differ for those gold diggers who would marry older men and claim their riches when they die. ;; It's just not my thing. I would not go for someone young for money, nor way old for money. I'd just get hitch with someone who loves me for me and who I am not for what I do etc. I know a lot of people who went with a guy with some greens in their pocket just so their future kids would have a stable future. If they want that stable future for their kids so much... Instead of marrying 'daddy warbucks' it's best you put some of your own money away now for that to work out if you don't end up marrying the wealthy one since you love someone who isn't that would still be willing to support you and stick with you through and through. All people's gotta do is make sure their heart is in the right place. If you seen the movie 'The Notebook' the Noah guy was so in love with Ally, and never knew she was rich but never cared that she was rich because he's so into deep. But they conflicted because she had to move away etc, and ended up going with some rich guy of her equal status but she wasn't all that happy. In the end, she picks the Noah guy and they lived happily ever after. ^^ Well that's my view on marrying for love instead of money.

Hmmm... much better if both of them are presence.But in case i have to choose, LOVE always prevails on me because it can conquers all and give us life and happiness. One purpose that we are here is to love and be love. Better LOVE than never to love at all.It depends on each individuals choice and what his point of view as soon as you are happy making your own decision and enjoying the freedom THAT you have.

Marrying for money will be foolish, from my perspective. Marriage is to have a partner for life time, and only love can bind the couple together for longer time.Hence one should marry for love only. I did for love and affection only.

Money is not everything in life but is important even for your love to survive. Given a choice I would surely marry for you and if you are happy and ready to work hard money will surely follow.

I prefer to marry a woman in the name of love not for money. I know nowadays some men and women are marrying rich and powerful individuals to become secured financially, gain power, and fame even without love. This kind of decision of some brings them into a broken home that the children suffers at the end.
