I married my Husband for Love. When we got engaged, he had just lost his job and had no savings yet the love I had for him enabled me to look past that and marry him still. We first started out as good friends then later it proceeded to dating then engagement and here I am today with 1 son later. He's the best thing that ever happened to me and my gift from God. I love him dearly, for better or worse, richer or poorer, til death do us NOT part as I'll come looking for him in Heaven (as we say). I wish the same for you and remember good things come to those who wait. Lots of Luck to you!!!! =)

I got married for love. Yes, we are best friends. By asking does money make a difference, do you mean is money an issue in marriage? Or do you mean does how much money you bring to the marriage make a difference? Either way, money always plays a factor in a marriage. You just need to find someone that feels the same way about it as you do. Don't lose hope. Some of our best friends just got married at the age of 35. Good luck

My first marriage I married for all the wrong reasons. I loved him but the love I had for him was based on the way he treated my daughter. Her dad had past away and I desperately wanted her to have a father figure. I married for stability and family. He treated her as if she were his and I loved that. Eventually that love just wasn't enough to make our marriage work. We ended up divorced after a year.
The marriage I am in now is based on true love and my desire to spend the rest of my life with this man. I can't imagine ever being with anyone else. We just fit together so well. I believe God made us for each other! I know that this marriage will last because we both got married for the right reasons.

You marry because you can't imagine your life with out the other person.
Because you spend all your time together, and that's all you want to do.
You need to know that lust, love, want, all play into getting married. If you're marrying because one of you has money, or out of convenience, it's the wrong reason.
And if you get married, know that marriage is HARD! It takes compromise, communication, understanding and it is the hardest thing you'll ever do. Most people give up to easy and get divorced. Know what you're getting into in the beginning will help you get through the hard times.
Mr. Right is out there - go out and find him - grow old together!

Marriage is about marring the person your truley in love with, the one you want to give your heart and sole to. If your not ready for that then dont get married. I married the man of my dreams.He is my only true love. We actually didnt even know eachother very long when we got married. But here we are being married almost a year and doing wonderfull. Ya at times we have finaical problems, but we stick together as a couple and work threw it. It always works out somehow.

I have no idea how someone can be 34 and not meet at least one man to marry. I can understand it if you have been working on your education and career. I can think of 5 men I could have married and been very happy with each of them. I chose the one that I felt was the best one. I found with the money issue that it is not so much as how much money you have (unless you have zero) but how you spend it.

I married for true love and at times it seems like I made the wrong choice, my husband and I went through a really bad patch last year, but I know overall I made the right choice. We still have some pretty bad fights occasionally but we both know we'll work it out because we are truly in love. When I married my husband two years ago we were living at his parents house and he was making just over minimum wage but I still wouldn't have left him for a guy with money (I had the option) because I knew things would eventually work out. I'm happy with my husband and two beautiful daughters.

You will know when you find the right person, everything will feel right about it. You will want to spend your time enjoying all that life has to offer with each other, you will want to support each other though hard times as well as just everyday mondane quietness. And yes this will be your best friend and much more. Money makes a differance in everyones life, but as long as you have shelter, food and clothing and your basic needs are being met, anything more is a bonus to be shared with your beloved.

Yes, I married my true love. We have been married 19 years. We just loved each other so much that nothing else mattered. Money is important but not the most important thing. We are best friends now and will always be best friends.

The first time was for LOVE. He was my high school sweetheart. We dated for 5 years and were married for 8.
The second time was for LUST .....and convenience. He was 10 years younger than me, and all we had in common was.........Well, you know. Then, along comes a baby. So we got married so our child would have a family. This relationship only lasted two years.
The next time will be for MONEY. (Ha Ha) I never had it in either of my marriages. Maybe, I could combine the qualities I like of the two men together..........With money, who knows?!
Seriously, money doesn't matter. All of the money in the world can't make you happy. I would rather be poor and happy than rich and lonely. And YES, I do believe there is one special person for everyone. I just haven't found mine yet.

my husband and I were best friends before we got married, then we fell in love with each other. We still are friends and we still love each other even after ten years. We have grown closer over the years. Money was never an object. Neither one of has any to speak of but we make ends meet. Being friends helped us become a couple because we got to know each other before we married.
