Whether man, or woman, and you could get married to a person with lots of money, would you? How necessary is love in the equation? Could you grow to love them, or would the availablity of money, satisfy your needs? Be honest! We don't know each other anyway. I think I could marry someone, strictly based on the fact that for the first time in my life, I would have money to do things I have always wanted to do. What about you?

If you marry for money, you earn every cent. That's the motto I've always lived by. Nothing short of true love, is a reason to marry somebody. Never marry for money! "Satin Sheets", remember that song??

I would normally jump up and say yes. Having said that, I just left a sugar daddy a couple of weeks ago because he drove me nuts! He wasn't rich rich, but doubled my 9-5 income so I was able to pay some bills and play with my hobbies. He took me to amusement parks, fancy dinners, nights on the town. We had a lot of fun. He was a perfectly nice guy. He was waaay to emotionally needy. We went into it knowing what was what, yet in the end, he wanted more from me EMOTIONALLY than I was willing to give.
So, I would marry for money, without love, but we would have to be compatible.

No, I would not. There is a saying about people who marry only for money: you earn every penny of it.
In other words, it's a very unhappy existence. Marrying someone you love who HAS money, however...that might be nice. But love should always be more important than money.
If having money is more important to you than having love, go out and make your own fortune. Don't just go out and marry for it--it would never work out anyway.

No. Emotion is very important to me. The richest, sexiest, kinkiest woman in the world would still not make me happy if I didn't love her. Although I would not want for material things, those lack emotion. Although my wife was physically attractive, without the emotion, I could just as easily find pictures of attractive women on the net. Although she was willing to do anything I wanted in the bedroom, it would always be hollow and empty and meaningless. I would rather feel love and know emotional satisfaction and happiness then be rich.

Not if there wasn't any attraction between us, no. I walked away from a marriage to a man who made a decent wage. I could of continued to sit back and not earn anything and spend without thought. So I know $$ isn't a reason to be with someone...you end up feeling like you sold your soul to the devil. And I didn't marry him for his $$ because he didn't make any when we first got together. I'd rather be poor but happy any day.

There is no way I could do that. You might think you are happy with having a lot of money but love cannot be replaced by money. Every one needs to be loved and to be in love otherwise the world is a lonely place. It might sound silly but people that think they do not need love to get through life are adventually not going to be happy.

No - because I would want to cheat on that person and I am not a cheater. Money is cool, but believe me - I was married to someone who was never ever there for me but we had plenty of money. I woul rather have love. If you respect yourself and others, have somewhat of a work ethic - you will never be left wanting.

No. Love has to come first. I had a lot of money in my first marriage, but it did not fulfill my heart. I left that relationship and my true love and I aren't poor, but we certainly aren't rich. I don't get to buy as much as I used to, but I don't miss that even one little bit - give me love anytime.

Well, if she was smart, she would have me sign a prenup. If she did that, and I wasn't happy being with her, the money wouldn't do me any good. If she didn't have me sign one, then she is probably stupid and I wouldn't be happy with a dingbat anyway. Yes, I would get half of what she owned, but then I wouldn't be with her anymore and right back to where I started with no relationship. So, as much as I love money, no, I wouldn't.

well depends, but right now, i am not that in need of a marry me for money. but i think it is just like marry me because my parents said so. also, i can love a person depending on his personality. the more you are with a person, the more you know him. and it happens in the movies, so it can happen in real life.
