No, that's not a marriage. That's a business deal. Then once they finally do spend time together they are not even going to know each other. Then all the work was for what? I'd rather live in a shack happy then to live in a mansion and be unhappy.

NO i do not feel this is good for the marriage at all... They should live and abide together in the same house and sleep in the same bed... Why did they even marry for if then cannot live together as husband and wife should. Money and things do not buy love or happiness and if you put all your time into money and not into your marriage ultimatley you end up losing out on the marriage down the road. Your marriage and relationship should be way more important then things that fade away over time and money that dissappears... Geesh where is the importance on marriage today? Love and marriage should be way more important then anything money can ever buy as that is just stuff and you cannot take it with you when you die anyways. Basically why even get married in the first place if money and things mean more to you then a wife and marriage would. Comeon where are our priorities in life at? If we want money ore then marriage then i feel there really is no need to marry in the first place as money becomes your God and love of your life.....

I dont at all. I think that the point of being married is to live your lives together blending the two people and their worlds together into one. Money is not important enough (or should not be) to keep two people apart, virtually living seperate lives. Marriage is about compromise. They should find a common place to live, close to both jobs allowing them time together as a family. If they dont grow together now its going to be very difficult when they are older. They wont know eachother like they should and that bond that keeps people together (especially when times are rough) wont be there. Marriage and companionship is the greatest gift, it should never be squandered on something as unnecessary as more money.

If you love each other you should do what it takes to be together. I know it is hard and sometimes people do have to live apart, but remeber cars, houses and money are not as important as the person you love.

People who are at the end of their lives do not talk about the great houses, cars or trips they have taken. They will tell you about the important people in their lives, their family.To love and to be loved is the only thing that really matters in life. How can you have this when you are living separate lives?

If people are going to live apart, then why marry? As married people grow older, they usually want to grow older with their mate & be there for each other, being happy together, not pretending to be happy.

you question is kind of convoluted but i will try to answer with my experience. my parents both used to live together in north carolina, and my mother decided that she wanted to go to las vegas for a nursing opportunity. my dad wasn't against it, but he wanted to stay at home with his job he currently had. my mom decided to go to las vegas anyway. so, my dad lives in north carolina, and my mom lives in las vegas. as far as i know, they still talk and still love each other, and will be reunited soon. it's not really a question of whether people should do it or not, because that is their choice alone. i certainly believe that in marriage, both people should have a stable job in order to provide for themselves and children. it's just how it has always been. married couples inevitably have to spend time away from each other in order to not, um, live on the streets.

No. You work hard TOGETHER! That way in the end, you know you did it together. Hope this helps out.
