Is love worth more than jet setting, mansions, roll royces, private aircraft, servants, and tons of money?

I would rather marry poor. That's exactly what I did. I grew up rather well-off, but my husband grew up absolutely destitute. My mother warned me that I would never be happy with him because he would never be able to provide me with the lifestyle that I was accustomed to. I loved him enough to take that chance and now we've been married five years and I've never been happier. It sounds trite to say that love conquers all but it really is true. Don't get me wrong, there are some days when I really wish I had a maid or could go shopping, but I would rather keep my husband than have all of those things back any day.

Yes, love is worth more than wealth. But as a girl, I must admit that rich boys look much interesting than poor boys. I have read some answers from other girls, they really nice by choosing poor over rich. I'm very ashamed for being like this.I feel guilty for preferring rich than poor, and I really hate myself for this.

If you are living life simply for these "pleasures" that money can buy, you aren't living at all. Living requires taking pride in making your own way, loving what you do and all your effort you put in to it. It requires failures and broken promises. Having or doing any of the things you listed (what money can buy) is not living. Loving is part of living. The choice is yours: to live and love, or to own. If you marry rich simply for the key word rich, you are failing yourself. You may go places, and see things, but until you make your own way, you are simply being, not living. You are given one life. Will you use it to love, or to waste? To put it in the words of Rent, "Forget regret or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way. No day but today." It isn't about what you own. It's about how you live. So are you going to live, or just be?

Love is more valuable than material objects because in time they diminish and lose value where as feelings do not have an expiratory date, if you truly love that person and they make you entirely happy then your life with them will amount to richness... You will live having the best of wealth, that is being rich with love.

This is what I have heard and kept with me for a while. "A thousand years ago people were seeking it. People are still seeking it now and in a thousand years from now they will still be seeking it. What people are seeking for is Love." You see love is what keeps us going even though we may not see it. Many times it is the results of love that we live for and that remains in us. Money comes and goes, but love stays with us long after that person is gone

Definitely real love is incomparable to a luxury guy/girl. I am currently attached and I have to say my guy is really not to riches.Most of the time I have to be the one who is paying the items [i am neither that rich].But you know what? I really don't mind at all.Cuz in return i get unlimited amount of love which he makes me feel so special and nothing can be more valuable than that.

Love is worth so much more because honestly, nobody about to die says: "I wish i would've spend more time in the office" or "I wish i would've made more money" They say "I wish i found true love" "I wish i spent more time with family and friends"...
Loving someone and being with someone you love is what's important... someday you'll realise that and if you decide to go with money you'll regret it one day. You'll realise that you're living a lie and you have never really been happy.â¥

One day, that money will be gone. Vacationing in Barbados, the glamourous clubbing, the maitre d's...all will fade with time.
True memories that you will cherish come from the passion, desire and utter lust for the one you really love.
Love cannot be replaced with money. To be rich, is to love.

lets see marriage for love or marriage for money. I pick neither one those are the two things that cause the most trouble in life. Just give me a good friend.
