I married for the love I have for my husband. Money does not bring you happiness don't get me wrong if my husband was rich that would be awesome lol. Love is more important then any amount of money.

People marry for tons of reasons: Green card, Money, Status, Wealth, Not to be lonely, Boredom, Sex, to hide their true sexual nature, because your parents made you do it, pregnancy...etc, the reasons are endless regardless of male or female. Of course, most women normally aim for the good marriage with a good man and a good checkbook that you love mainly for himself but the other assets are great finishing touches.
When I took the dare, I did it b/c part of me thought I was "in love" , part of me thought it was "the right thing to do" because I had a kid, and another part because he threatened to hurt my family with our personal affairs. In the end, I would've stuck to my original instinct & said get lost only b/c he turned out to be an abuser & a cheater among a ton of things.
I took a vacation from guys for a short while after I separated from the first & dated in and out but mainly learned to love my independence more than men. Of course, that's when the guy I think is Mr. Right, finally shows up on my door! Regardless, we've developed beautifully and he's got a lot going for him but even if he didn't, (like the first one who was broke and broken) I would absolutely marry him soley b/c he and I not only love each other (which saves the day from the small stuff) but because we respect and value our friendship. That's hard to find. People should marry if they are great friends as well as lovers and in love. It really makes the difference when life's obstacles make their way. ~.*

I would hope love...those are the marriages that last. When you marry someone for love, you are more willing to accept one another for who they are. They are more willing to compromise and work thing out rather than have an agenda as to how long they need to stick it out to get their share. I personally think that those who marry for wealth are truly missing out. Nothing compares to real love in a marriage. The friendship, the laughter, the tears, the sense of togetherness, and the excitement of planning your future together as one. I think if I was ever forced to choose being well off and miserable over dirt poor and happy, I'd be scrounging for pennies in my couch and cutting coupons while I laughed with my husband about how much worse things could be. Nothing replaces that for me.

I married my husband for love. I think I met my Husband at his lowest point in life when he lost his job and was scrounging for change so he can eat. Funny, but true. I've been thru the hole richer or poorer , sickness and health thing and I'm still and will always be by his side. Money makes life easier and more comfortable but it does'nt buy the happiness and completeness that only true love can bring.

I think most women are going to say love, after all we are women - arent we !?! and we all have that ideal thought of marriage, the white picket fence, the house in the suburbs, the 2.3 children, the dog, the perfect love etc etc.....
Of course, once we wake up, after 16 years of marriage, 3 kids and 20lbs, we divorce the pain in the **** and then go for the money ;-))

I married for love, ther definately was no money! If I had a choice to pick someone I didn't love and had lots of money or someone I deeply loved with no money. I'd have to sit on that one for awhile but the money guy sure feels right when your down on your luck, financially.

Can't speak for other women, but I married for love. Because money isn't all it's cracked up to be, love is...

Because other than to obtain a green card there are no other reasons.
