money, because if you have money you can always find love!

Love. You can always gain money/financial security down the road....
In the end, Love is all you really need to be happy. You could be dirt poor but as long as you know your spouse loves you, and is doing everything in their power to make your lives better, things will be tough but you will get through them. Money/financial security is more of a supplement or an added bonus in my opinion.
That being said, never use Love as an excuse to do something stupid like marrying someone who really IS dirt poor. If you really love eachother, you will stay together no matter if you're married or not.
Not sure if that will make sense to anyone else but hopefully it does!

Get yourself financially secure. Do not make yourself dependent on anyone whether you love them or not. THEN get married for love. And let me just say as a side note that the secret of a life-long relationship is commitment. Nothing else. Love changes, money may not last, children may disappoint. You can get through all these things if you are committed to the relationship!

well it depends. alot of people marry for their legal papers so the next party is doing it for the money which is o.k if both people know what they are getting out of that arrangement. but if you want to spend the rest of your life with someone no matter what through thick and thin,. then marry for love it is good to have financial security even if you love the person because financial strain can ruin a marriage if the burden falls on one person. marry for love but make sure you both have earning potential even if none of you are earning at the moment. it will come in handy in the long run.

For me, it's better to marry with all of the above, love, money and financial security. Why? because to marry with love and without money will be marrying a life with no future for the family. And if you marry with ONLY love without money is horrible. How will you survive, what would you eat, love will be out the window if your stomach is empty because you have no money , no future. If you marry for money and security, no love, then all you would be thinking of is money and money, no love. Therefore there would be no respect, no trust, no feelings whatsoever.

BOTH, I tell ya it depends on how ambitious you are in life. I'm not talking about being lavish and materialistic but if you see yourself owning a home, 2 decent cars, providing decent things for your kids - that all needs money. And now a days not just a little bit of money, a good amount of it.
You may be someone who can live a day by day life and barely scraping by but it doesn't bother you, but personally I have to have the reassurance that there is money in the savings and that all the bills are paid ahead of time and that I get the average things a person wants. I like be able to send my child to preschool a day or two a week, I like to get my nails done occasionally, go out to dinner with my husband every 2 weeks. Nothing luxurious but little things to keep our sanity.

Marry for financial security. You can always learn to love him.

Take the money and be nice to the donor...always. Marriage built on security will probably last longer than all this love stuff anyway, so you might as well have something for your labor. OF course, the labor may be considered the oldest profession on Earth, but then again, so what.

Don't lose your head when you "fall" in love. You need love as well as financial security to make a marriage work. One without the other just won't do at all.

Unfortunately you need a little bit of both. By financial security, I'm guessing you really mean stability, not necessarily wealth. You need love and a stable financial situation to work on both an emotional and practical level.
