If you both agree that you are just entering a legal partnership then I guess it's no harm no foul. Just do yourselves a favor and try not to have kids. Loveless marriages are not the best image for kids to see.

I think a lot of people here are being unnecessarily harsh.
I think it is sad that it is necessary, but a lot of women do marry or live with a man for financial reasons. It is sad that a woman can work all week and not make enough money to get by, make ends meet. But it often happens. A lot of men earn more. Yes, even in this day and age.
If people stop and think about it, this happens much more frequently than they are willing to admit.
I am glad you are honest. I also hope you have some genuine affection for your fiance. I think if there are common interests and genuine affection, this marriage can work. And I wish you good luck.

If both of you are clear on your agenda for marrying for financial reasons rather than love and are happy to go ahead with spending the rest of your lives together then I would say its OK, but I would seek some form of counselling before this big commitment. and maybe seek legal advice draw up a contract which states clearly how much you will gain and whether you will have children together. but if your partner does not know of your intention to marry for financial reasons then that is unfair on them, it would be a terrible way to start a marriage and both parties would end up resentful or having affairs... besides all of that have you ever heard of pre-nups most Lawyers will suggest to their wealthy clients to look after their assets by enforcing a pre-nup!

Greetings!
Another honest person! At least you're clear about it.
If you're willing to "sell" yourself into a marriage, not for love, but for money...put yourself up on e-Bay and see how much you can get! If a wealthy man is going to marry you and care for you financially....what are you offering in return? Good looks? Intelligence? Charm? Affection? Children? It sounds as if you're creating a warped version of "Let's Make a Deal!".
Could you live with yourself if you married for money and weren't happy? What if the man loved you but you were just in it for a paycheck? If you're just looking for financial stability, why not develop yourself? Go to school. Get a good education. Get a good job. Go into business for yourself. MAKE YOUR OWN MONEY! That way, you only have to be in relationship with yourself and you don't run the risk of tying up a good man in a bad marriage.
I wish you Peace.

Bad Idea. Everything you do in this life has to come back to you. If you use someone, you will get used. Anyway, life is to short. You can always make your financial situation better. But you should strive for a mate that you are attracted to and that you love hangin out with. Life really is about love. Always watch the "intent" of your heart in life. And if you marry someone for money your "intent" is wrong.

Such things happen all the time, even when the ladies are not gold diggers.
Well to do families marry off their daughters to sons of wealthy families for financial and business reasons. It doesn't even matter if either of them are gay, they just marry each other and have children anyway.

How about you just live with him, spend all his money, but give him sex whenever he wants. How about you go to Vegas and become a Prostitute because that's what this marriage would be. And in the end you would have about the same amount of satisfaction with life and respect for yourself....which would be NONE!!!

Don't marry someone you don't love. Theres nothing better then being in love. Yeah everyone loves $$, but its love you can't buy and last for eternity. WHY marry someone you don't love?thats what marriage is about? So, if for some reason he went in debt, you would divorce him?? Don't waste your time,cuz eventually you'd want someone to love.

No because marriage is about love, not money. You marry someone because you love them and you want to spend the rest of your life with them. What happens if this person suddenly loses all their money and you're stuck in a marriage with them?

It's ok. But it's not nice - it's a marriage of convenience and you'll probably be called a gold digger.
