Nothing wrong with it if everyone knows the score. Does your future spouse know you'll only be marrying for money? If so, and they are willing then it's all good.
It's only wrong if you're deceptive about it.

If you just marry for money I highly doubt it will last. The other person will eventually pick up that no true feelings are there. Or you eventually WILL fall in love with someone else, which would just lead to trouble. Marry someone you love, work together to be finacially secure. The nicest home in the world or the best shopping sprees won't always make you happy or feeling fullfilled.

Obviously it won't work if you are marrying ONLY for money. But if you do wish to marry someone rich, it is possible to find love with a rich person and I don't particularly see a problem with that. It is just the same as wanting to marry someone who shares your passion for horses, or race car driving, or love of art.
If you want to marry rich, you will have to put yourself in those circles in which you will associate with them, in other words -- where the rich people hang-out.
But no, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, though most people on here think differently. I think it would be fair to say everyone would like to marry someone who is financially secure and just because you are prioritizing your needs a little bit differently doesn't make you a bad person.

I think the eloping idea is fine for the reason you stated, that you would rather spend it on a honeymoon and you have done the formal thing before not for the other reasons. When you said that you family was financially secure and called his family redneckish, thats thinking that your/your family is better than him/his family. And you shouldnt not want to have an actual wedding bc his mom would need the financial help. Most couples pay for their own weddings and pay for the mothers, bridemaids, maid of honors, ushers, best mens needs as well. so this was not a very good reason not to have a wedding. And when your putting down his family the way you are, you might want to think about the marriage before you actually get yourself into it. Not to be rude, and I am sorry if I am but I am just stating what seems to be the obvious. If you and your fiance have a mutual agreement to elope then thats what you should do but not for some of the petty reasons you stated. Good Luck!

Money should be considered when making a decision to marry: How you will survive? Who will work, what about when children come? Do your spending/saving/budgetting habits match, etc......
All important things to discuss before getting married: but money in itself is not a good reason to get married - it is one small part of a much bigger picture. Even a wealthy man can leave you lonely, abused, cheated on, etc - so look for more then just the money.

Yes, you marry because you love someone. If you want to be finacially secure get a job, save money..but just so ya know money doesn't stay around for ever it's not a guarantee, true love is. I feel sorry for the person you marry if you're just marrying them for their bank account.

Yes and no. It depends on if you love the person, or even like them and would be happy being with them. If that is the case then its always a bonus to have them be financially well off. But just a warning, if you only marry for money, and their is no love you will never truly be happy and it will probably end poorly.

No, it isn't. It would be wrong however to raise a child/children in a marriage that you can't sustain, leaving them without one parent and with a feeling of abandonment. It really doesn't take a whole lot to be financially secure unless you're a gold digger. It only takes good planning. Unless you're a high maintenance woman who wants to be supported and do no work, that is.

I think it is wrong to marry solely for money. You should marry for love.
Now, if you happen to associate yourself with those who are more affluent and fall in love with a finacially secure person who loves you in return, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Just my opinion.

You shouldn't marry a person just for money, it's not fair to them, i mean what if they actually love you, then youre just letting them on, to be "financially secure". I dont think its wrong to marry a person that has money IF you love them, but not just for their money
