HI kicysmile! In my opinion both of you especially you need some time to think about it back. Since he is a good man and everyone like him yet it is okay to have a doubt about the future that both you may encounter. Yes, you like and love him right but it is your right to think about the future of your love. Give some time to both of you to change the situation. He need time to stabilize his life because he should know love only will not going to feed you in the future. He should know at first place that he should have everything enough before he could say that he is going to give you happiness. I am sure he does not want his love to suffer. He should think and plan carefully to have a family because it is not just you two as after you got married you are going to have children and how about their future? He should think whether he could do it and not just think but take an action as well. Do not said that you are going to help him and have job as well because he should know first the responsibility to support and feel the family. Tell him both of you need some more time. If he love you he will know about it and will change the situation. You are taking a huge risk if you willing to marry him now. (^^)

Having a family need full commitment and responsibility. It is not as easy as you see. Others may say that they are happy with their partner now but deep inside they actually want to feel better than what they have now but they can't go back as love tied them both and they already passed the decision time long ago.. Believe me if they got chance to turn it back they will choose to give themselves more time before deciding to get together for the better future.(^^)

I do not care if my man or woman is poor. As long as he can contribute somewhat to the household, I will be okay with that. As long as he is not shiftless, I will go ahead and think it's okay as long as I care about personality more. I am especially attracted to artists, so poverty is part of that situation. I am a writer myself, so I understand.

Money is important for living no doubt, but not as important as character of the person with whom you are going to spend your full life. What if you marry a rich man and he beats you everyday....what is the use of such money and wealth, while you are being physically and emotionally tortured every day.If I was at your place, I would give first preference to the nature of the person, if he is loving and caring and how important am I to him , then I would not mind even if he is poor. Besides you said he is also good looking....Today he is poor , but tomorrow he will be rich because good times and bad times are with everybody and nothing remains stable. Also as they say, you must not marry the person you like, but you must marry a person who likes you. The rest I leave to you. After all it is your life and your decision that is important. Best of luck.

as a boy, i dont`t know whether you are willing to receive my suggestion if you love him indeed, then there`s no choice but marry him. i think you did`t love him so much as him for the consideration of him being poor. Maybe i was wrong.

I was thinking the same thing, _crystal, and I am a girl. If she is thinking about how much money he makes, and that is one of the determining factors about whether or not she will marry him, then she does not really love him, in my opinion.

Money shouldn't be the reason why you don't want to marry someone. My husband we first got together and even married we had nearly no money. We were poor still in the poor boat but happy. It's not about the money but the love we have together. Money is always tight we have one child with another on the way.

It doesn't matter if he's poor. If he's not choosy with jobs and industrious, you can choose him. Or to be sure with your future, ask him to have work first before you get married. It's difficult to marry if a man has no work. How can you sustain your living. You have to be both practical. When he have work, although he's poor, then you can survive. But if he's poor and no work, what do you think? If he really loves you, then he must work hard and prove something before getting into family life. Life is difficult. You can't survive with love alone.

As far as my opinion is concern state of being a poor is not a hindrance for woman to love and get marriage... Even do money is important in our live it doesn't mean that money can control everything in our lives even the most important for us to live happy "love". Money can't buy love and can be find it if the two people in relationship has the ability to manage and dream about the good life they want in the future...but finding a love which is our dream is hard. Money is everywhere and we can find them in every corner on this world...

By all means, don´t marry him!!! Not because he is poor: that might change or not in the future. But if you are asking for suggestions about if you should marry him or not, it shows that you are not much in love with him. You like his looks, but you don´t respect him as a person bacause if you did, you would not put money so high in your steem. I´m sure there will be another man more according to what you want and you will be happy and with no doubts. Take care!!!

My husband was always poor but he is my soul mate so I didnt care that he didnt have money. I could have the richest man in the world but I would not be happy with them because Im in love with my husband so I wouldnt trade him for the world. I am so glad I didnt listen to all the people that told me to go for money! Of course things are not always easy financially but I do know I am loved so much!

it depends why he is poor. if he is poor because he is lazy that is one thing, if he is poor because he comes from a poor family, and therefore took a low paid job because he wanted to work, then that is another entirely. after all a hardworking boy from a poor family is a whole lot better than a lazy one from a richer family. in healthy loving relationships people grow, and develop, so if you both love each other then chances are his career will develop, and if you support and encourage each other, he may be brave enough, and have the sort of confidence, to go on to get a better job.

No problem if my husband or boyfriend was poor or rich. Because I know if our thinking is positive we can earn more with our efforts. Rich person may be poor any time and poor person may be rich any time. So not think about it and if you like boyfriend then go ahead.

Because he is poor guy,you doubting him? don't you love him? For me, Status in life is not important as long he is a good and responsible man that ready to build a family. Money is just a thing that we can find it somewhere that will give us "a short-term happiness". Only true love can give us a real happiness that will satisfy ourself forever...

Hi, From my point of view I would consider several factors before jumping into conclusion that he is the right guy to marry. First, I will make sure that even he is poor right now, is he willing to work hard or smart so that both of you can live comfortably in the future. If this is the case, I will marry the guy. I believe that no matter how poor you are, if you have the desire to improve yourself there is always a way to get better and possibly comfortable in terms of financial.

My husband is also poor man. next month, January 14, 2012 is our 6th year wedding anniversary. He has a job with small salary, i also have a job with also small salary. But still we are holding on together. I can say that i have a happy family even we are not rich. The reason is, we love each other, and we will do everything that we can for our family. We have now 2 kids, and another one in my womb that will see the world on February. Think carefully about who will you marry. feel yourself, if you have doubt with your feeling, maybe he is really not meant for you. But if you feel contented on his love, no matter what his status, rich or poor, he might be for you.

Well,if you love the boy,and inside of his heart is kind hearted even it is poor,well i love that attitude.. don't care if you are rich,but the attitude can't accept it..Attitude must be first to know,not being rich,or poor..hope you are in the right place...

well, for me the attitude and character of a person i am going to marry is definitely important but also we need to think that in married life we must consider financial stability or our financial status because how can we be able to live a good life with family and kids, how can we provide for our kid's future and our future if we don't have money? i think he must first look for a decent job and think about marriage when he is financially secure enough to raise a family which is the main reason for marriage..i think marriage is not a good option for now until you or him has enough savings for your future together and your family..this is all i can say,,

Hi there! just a piece of advice from me also. just tell your boyfriend to wait until ur financially ready. getting married isn't easy nowadays. there's nothing wrong marrying a poor guy. if you know he is hardworking and disciplined, then you can marry him. but don't marry until he isn't ready.

hi shallster,thanks a lot,the proposal that you have put forward deserve serious consideration.getting married isn't easy nowdays.it is the most important thing in human life.and i should calm down and think carefully.thank your suggestion,i will take it.have a nice day ,my friend.

Hello~ Try to listen to your heart..make sure you do really love him before you guys get married. Then next try to analyze.. analyze if you can live life with him according to what kind of life he can give. Love is the most important thing to consider in getting married but money does matter too. When the time comes that he can't provide you food or the family's basic needs, here comes the misunderstanding and soon you'll start fighting. We cannot feed our family with just love. So he must need to find stable job that will sustain the needs of your future family. Good luck and may you find the right decision.
