Shall we give first priority to economic status in choosing a spouse?

Answer 1

It is written, "that when poverty comes through the door.. love goes out the window..."

That would mean generally speaking love does not stand a long term chance against abject poverty situations.

Considering the world today with its measurement of the bottom line [i.e. profits and net worths] everyone should try to marry up! Meaning financial status of significant others should be a consideration before getting involved with them.

For some though love is where they find it?

Answer 2

Thats a difficult question. Certainly, economic status is very relative to a successful marriage.

"You can't live on Love" "Love won't put food on the table"

Economic status is a relative term however. If your current lifestyle puts you in at below poverty line then a candidate for a spouse who has a job which earns sufficient income to provide for a lifestyle of even low income could be construed as a step up.

I'm not entirely sure that your question wasn't should people marry within their own financial class.

Economic status can be an important factor. It can show a stronger ability to commit to anything long-term. It can reflect how a person was brought up.

Should it be given first priority. Soundly......NO

"Money doesn't buy happiness"

Answer 3

Absolutely not. You should give that priority to the persons qualities- their personal strength and character, along with their compatibility with you. Those are the things that will make the marriage work. Financial strength will be developed prepared people, along with good management of it. People who have it by inheritance quite often can't manage it anyway, and/or have many hang-ups about it that will interfere with the success of the relationship. Putting existing wealth first or even high on a list of qualifications is a stupid choice. Love is not a business deal, nor should it be entered into without good judgment or common sense.

Answer 4

Money will certainly give you financial stability & most divorces & maritial problems come from the lack of money so it is a good thing to choose a spouse with financial stability. After that is said and done you need also to look for compatability & happiness someone you enjoy spending time with. This does not mean a marrage will be smooth sailing, there will alwayes be diffrences, lerning to compromise will help. So money is just one part of the equation.

Answer 5

By nature a woman would look for financial security, it's perfectly natural. But the real priority is to love someone who's really a gentleman and marry him.

Answer 6

i assume it may be feeling. i do no longer see colour while i'm getting to appreciate somebody. That has no longer something to do with it. all of us are those with distinctive personalities, etc. and in basic terms considering you're black, white, mexican, or the different "colour" would not recommend you have an extremely good or undesirable high quality. And as for financial status, that's additionally one in each of those issues that i've got faith like would not rely. I mean, that's different from i choose for my friends so as that they could purchase me issues. I care approximately how somebody treats me and how i've got faith while i'm around them.

Answer 7

No.

The first priority should be the environment s/he grew up in and to what extent s/he is molded by that environment.You ignore this factor, your marriage is doomed. Yes.

Answer 8

Only if that is what is the first priority for you

Answer 9

money can certainly help. but to have it as a priority, is a path for disaster. unless money is the biggest source of joy for both of you. then it just may work.

Answer 10

Nope, you should give priority to how big her hooters are. Money comes and goes but boy you won't regret a nice set of hooties to snuggle up to.
