We've probably heard about people marrying someone just because the person is rich. I'm curious. Were those people thinking only about themselves or are there reasons other than being able to have material needs? I mean, they could be marrying the person because they had no choice in the matter. Or they were thinking about their child or their parents well-being. Well, that's what I see on TV or in movies.

I guess at the end of the day we'll never really know what's going on through the person's mind unless we ask them right? Haha!~But I've know of many cases where the parents are greedy & also the person themselves are greedy

The love of money is the root of all evilYes, it can definitely be a useful tool to gauge the true colours / real character of a person

I think most of these cases really involve greed. Hmm, money can at times really bring out the worst in us.

hi beamer, sometimes someone married rich woman for their money. they sell themselves to the rich women. that time their humanity is lost also. they may get gratification becoming rich, but they become poor in his own spiritual world. so never sell yourself, that's my advice. don't mind if u are agree to marry a rich woman.

Hi. So for you, those people who marry the rich did so only for the money and their own gratification. Is it possible that they had no choice?

Hi beamer, I am afraid I could not understand your post. Do you mean to say that if you marry a rich girl there is material gain too or they overlook the mental paring of the husband and wife? But I know people who marry only for money - they are least concerned about the personality and character of the groom. Money get priority for their daughter would never have monetary problem. The same thing applied on girls too. This practice, I feel not good for both the bride and bridegroom.

Yes, you did understand the question :) And I think you're right that some people do marry only for the money, plain and simple.

I think marrying is very essential in our life. Marrying some one rich is not good for us. I think we should marry some one who is not rich than us to become happy in the married life. If we marry some one rich than us so she may fill many problem in our house because she has come from rich family. If we marry some one poor than us she will be satisfied in our home because she had come from the poor family. Though the happiness depend on luck.

That's an interesting philosophy. But I agree with you that happiness in one's marriage isn't always a guarantee. It may sometimes depend on luck or fate.
