Marry for love? What a hoot! The primary purpose of marriage has been to improve political and
financial standings among families. In most locales, it also provided the primary and permanent
career option for women.
Times change, though. Nothing says that money can't mingle with love. I admire the women who
professionally pursue marriage as a career option today. They spend all their money on nice clothes
and make-up and trips to ritzy resorts.
Better odds of falling for money than hanging out at the coffee shop,
It depends on many circumstances, but yes it CAN be right. If the money accessed by the marriage is
enough to save the rest of your family from poverty or death then marrying for money might be a
great choice.
to marry a man only for his money? oh God, so IMMORAL :-
but if you are crazy about that same man who just happens to have some money? it is not at all the same thing, because you wanted him for him in the first place, and even if he does not have money you would still want to be with him !
So no, I do not see that it makes any difference if you love them.
It is not right to marry someone FOR their money. No.
Just like it is not right for a man to marry you for your body.
Same idea, different venue.
Not unless it is right for the someone to marry you for the use of your body: Same argument is
possible either way.
Both schools of thought ultimately incorrect.
Hard to answer this with for or against the way it's written, but marrying someone for their money
and letting them think it's out of love is as good as theft.
You can always get a job and make money. But, hey, love makes the world go round. Life is a lot
more fun living and going to bed with someone you love.
As long as there are no false pretences involved I have no issue with whatever reason people choose
to get married. Personally I think it’s a bit silly at least in so far as I think it is meant
here, i.e. Someone who is not desperate but would simply like to have a higher standard of living.
As for me I’ve been very poor and reasonably well off and everywhere in between and I would never
sacrifice love for money.
It is possible for money to be one of the reasons you love somebody.
In evolutionary terms we would see a rich a person as somebody who can provide for us and our future
children.
Just like one of the reasons you love somebody might be because they are big and strong, so you feel
protected with them.
You might love somebody who is kind, because they are more likely to share their money.
So you can actually love somebody because they are rich, but money generally acts as one factor in a
combination of factor. However, who are we to say which factor is the most important?
