Should you marry for love or money?

Question

or both?

Answer 1

Defiantly love. I wouldn't have gotten married for any other reason.

Answer 2

Well when I got married it was for love, we didn't have much money to speak of. Some time after we were married we started a business together and we then had money. We were happy until the money started coming in and then things went very bad. It ended in a divorce.

I am happy now and have no money to speak of, just enough to get by on and that is it. I can't afford anything extra now at all and I am happier now.

Has any body not ever heard the old saying that "money is the root of all evil"?

So IF I was ever to get married again.......it would be for love!!!!
Love is what makes the world go round....at least that is what the Candy Man says.

Answer 3

Love is primary,Money secondary. Example,
When I got married I could only afford a one
bedroom apt with a small living room and a
small bathroom and a small kitchen, but love
is what brought us togeather. Now 20 yrs later
because we both have worked and saved I
live in a 4 bedroom home 2 complete baths
big living room, big dining room, big kitchen
a bar and all sits on an acre of land here in
beautiful Pamana., and to top it off all is paid
for...

Answer 4

That's a silly question.....money doesn't make you happy. If you woke up tomorrow and lost everything you had, your home, car, possessions, job, etc. You would be completely lonely without someone you love. On the flip side, you could be completely wealthy and still completely lonely.

Love is far better than any amount of money.

Answer 5

Love. If you love someone and they have money, that's a bonus. Love won't pull you through the bad times, love will. In the end, money can buy you lots to fill your life but without love, you will never be fully satisfied. You'll always want more

Answer 6

Although I have jokingly said to my co-workers... first marriage is for love and second is for money, I dont mean it.

I would get bored very fast if I didn't love the man with the money. I know myself well enough to say he would annoy me if I didn't love him but loved his money.

I would rather marry a poor man, love him and be happy, then marry a man for his money and be unhappy and not love him.

Answer 7

MONEY LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.....LOL

No i think we should marry for love, whats the point of marrying for money unless you don't mind being married 5 times or something, but i also think that people getting married should also be aware of people who are in debt cause if you marry that person you take it on NOT COOL

Answer 8

If u have to choose, marry for love. Of course if u can have both, that would be the best.

Answer 9

Hopefully both. If I had a choice, I'd say marry for money because you'd never have to worry about it. I married for love and it never got me any richer LOL.

Answer 10

If you can find both in one package by all means marry for both!!!

But, if you can't I would go with love. I would rather be poor happy and in love then rich and miserable without it.

Money can buy a lot of things but it can't buy you real true love.

Answer 11

Both. You need to marry for love, but you need to be on the same page with money. To clarify, you don't necessarily need to marry rich, just marry someone who has the same fiscal goals. For example how do you treat money (spenders vs savers). You need to have the "fiscal goal" conversation just as much as the "how many kids" or "what religion/philosophy are you" conversation. My wife is excellent with money, but the spark between us & her "emotional intelligence" regarding my needs is low. However, we'd probably have bigger problems if our fiscal goals were not synergistic.
