Why do people get married for money?

Question

I'm fourteen and I always wondered why people would get married to people they didn't love (because if I'm fourteen and can see that, I know an adult can). Then I came to the conclusion money. That's mean, because you are stealing and lying to the other person. I wanna know why.

I'm sorry "conclusion of money"

Are you guys serious? ..................... This is why armageddon has to come.

Answer 1

Sometimes it's to help each other out. Or, some people might have got their heart broken so many times that they don't want to believe in love anymore. Therefore, they marry someone knowing that they won't get hurt because they don't love them and also know that they will be taken care of at the same time.

Answer 2

Because some people in this world are golddiggers or just want an easy life with maids and chaffeurs and people dressing them etc. It is called being shallow a person will marry just for money becuase that is what drives them in life
greed and the love of money. Not realizing that true love of another human is more powerful and more addictive then money could ever be.

Why do you think you see so many people divorcing because for some reason or another a spouse blows the money the fortune basically and the couple is now broke. Therefore they must divorce the broke spouse so they can find another suiter that has money to facilitate there quality of life.

Really if the rich married for love there would be no need for pre-nups.

Answer 3

I got married for financial reasons. I had left a very good job that afforded me very good health benefits. I moved 3,000 miles from that job and my home to live with my then "boyfriend". I had no intentions of actually getting married at all as long as I could find a job with a good benefit package I would be fine. But because my boyfriend was military employer's didn't want to hire me permaently thinking I wouldn't be there for long. So I had to work only for temporary employment agencies which did not offer benefit packages. This meant I had to pay up front for any doctor visits, prescriptions and those don't come cheap. It can cost $500.00 just for one doctor's visit and if you need tests or prescriptions then you're paying more. I couldn't afford to get an x ray when I had a back injury once. So boyfriend and I began talking, If I were to have a baby he and I would have to pay out $5,000.00 just for a HEALTHY baby and hospital stay because the military didn't cover non married partners at that time. Neither he nor I had that much money in the bank so we decided to get married...Lucky we did because when our daughter was born there were complications and had we paid out of our pockets for everything it would have cost over $25,000.00. Now maybe YOU have that kind of money just lying around...I don't know many adults who do. It's called living in the REAL World rather than the fantasies of a 14 year old child.

I think, and this is just my opinion, that people marry for money because of "greed". They want it all and they will marry somone who has money so they can get exactly what they want..
To me, money cant buy you love.. When I married my first husband he didnt have any money, and no, I didnt love him. I married him because his parents thought it was the right thing to do bc we had a son.. My second husband, he wasnt rich when I met him but he did make a good living, was able to pay the bills and have some leftover, but his exwife got him fired from that job and he had to find another job and start from the bottom and is working his way up. I married my second husband for true love!! I didnt care what he could or couldnt buy me, I wasnt that into gifts as much as i was into having him in my life.. next to me at night and with me for the rest of my life.. its also said that money is the root of all evil.. Im not sure if that statement is true.. I guess its a matter of opinion...

Answer 5

Just because you marry for money doesn't mean you're stealing. It's usually a mutually beneficial relationship...

The woman likes the security(that comes with money) while the man marries for the company and the pride that goes with walking around with a very pretty and young woman.

I'm sure he knows the woman have a possibility of not being attracted to him(if he's already very old) but marries her anyway, not necessarily out of love but could be because he needs somebody to take care of him, keep him company when he is old, ailing and confined to the hospital

Answer 6

Because Money Makes the World Go Round. To some people they would rather not have to worry about money and have that worry free life style. After worrying about money and making ends meet-I can most certainly see why some people do it. I would have to at least "like" some one alot and be attracted to them in some way...but when i was younger I would have beed appalled at the thought of marrying for money...but being older and divorced....not so appalled anymore by the idea of it.

Answer 7

Some people are thieves and liars, some don't care, some think money is more important than love. Not everyone in the world is good.

Answer 8

Because some people think that money will make them happy. But money doesn't buy happiness, and that's why their marriages are miserable. Right now I'm as broke as I've ever been in my life, but I'm quite happy otherwise.

Answer 9

It's called 'greed'..Do not imprison yourself with thoughts like that.Marriage is not a plaything..to some it come and goes. As young like you,choose the person with qualities you like and most importantly,should be God fearing.
