I feel when you are young 18-24 you are marrying basically for love, but I feel once you start to get older you still marry for love however you start thinking about the financial situation, what you can bring to the table, and also what the future holds for you lke retirement, kids, college for your kids, how you can make the marriage work together you know different things. When I was yonger and I am now 28 I was engaged to this guy I was really in love with who continued to do hurtful stuff like take from others, manipulate others, and do whatever he could to get ahead, but he would also overdraw his account all the time for stupid ****, spend money on unimportant things but leave his bills unpaid. When we first got together we were 19 and I never looked at things from that point of view, but once I got a clue and said to him I want more in life and that I wanted to live a honest "work for everything life he started saying I was acting stuck up and that I wanted someone with money
