If you where in love deeply with a man but he did not have much money would you marry him? Would you marry someone because they are rich?


Update: Lets say the person you loved had very little money.    19 days ago

It isn't always best to go on just love. Because, while yes love can last forever, having very little money puts major stress on that bond and can possibly break that bond leaving both of you brokenhearted. I say this just to let you know that love shouldnt be the only reason to marry someone

what's the use of having a lot of money if you don't have someone who really cares and loves you?! I'd rather have enough money and have a happy family! :)

Love wins.. especially when it comes to marriage.. because I wouldn't want a girl to marry me just because of my money. I have a traditionalist's point of view when it comes to the money thing so if the woman I loved had very little money, it wouldn't matter because I'm the man anyway.. I should be the one taking care of financial things.

i have some experience with this but it would of been an easy decision if she had been interested in me , I meet a girl I really liked and she had money , I would of definity married her but she just wasn't ready for anything serious and saw me more as a friend .

then also she might of not though I had enough money to please her , not sure what things lead her to make the decision she made . not really sure what some girls my age are looking for and some have high standards in looks and such that they want the guy to have .

I would marry for nothing less than true love, I have been asked a couple of times now but I did not feel like I was in love with them so I said no, it's got to be proper love and money shouldn't even come into it.

Am a feminist , so my man doesn't have to waste his money on me with my bad shopping habbits, we will both have to work and we re equal.
id have to say that all I need from this world is peace and love..am not a hippie lol but I just believe that love/respect/acceptance is what everyone needs.
money come and go, if I was left with two options, a guy that I love who happens to be poor, and a guy who loves me but I don't love him who happens to be rich I would diff. go with the one I love.

But am a person who isn't attracted to losers honestly, so I wouldn't start something with someone who is uneducated, loser, sloth and poor ( am talking really poor who isn't doing anything about it, perhaps also a junkie lol) . not because am shallow because I prefer to be with someone who comes from the same background even if the religion/culture wasent the same , as long as we share the same background ,education and most importantly Love then its all good. this way we could build ourlives together...if he's a loser then don't bother!

I am the anonymous person (with money its always better).

I just wanted to say that what I said may not work if the opposite occurs, meaning that the guy is the one marrying for money. This is because women are usually extra sensitive and will probably know it if your only marrying her for her money. In addition, even if the guy is that sensitive and realizes that the girl is mostly (not entirely) with him for his money, he won't necessarily mind, because deep inside he believes that with time she will love him (thats what my boyfriend said when I told him I did not love him, but would marry him. And to tell you the truth now I see that there are great chances it might eventually happen).

(with money its always better)

I would marry both for love and for many. Though, from past relationships I have learnt that only with love (and barely no money) its hard to make it work, because it is inevitable that money will always be an issue (especially if your used to having it). But if you marry someone whose rich and you care for them, feel passionate about them, but not necessarily love them, chances are the marriage or relationship will work (especially if HE loves you). This is why:
- money will never be an issue (one of the main reasons couples fight about)
- he will never say no to your shopping habit (and may even indulge you in it)
- you will travel to many different and unique places (possibly extremely romantic locations as well), which will only heat up the spark between both of you
- if he adores you, he will spoil you in any way he can
- if you decided to have children, you will be able to give them the best education there is, apart from other luxuries
- you can practice different sports (which require more money) like horseback riding
- you will have fabulous night outs, in fabulous restaurants, exclusive clubs, etc ..
- you may live anywhere you wish, and decorate the place as you like

With all of this, plus a great guy who loves you (he won't marry you if he doesn't) and is rich, even though you don't love him, chances are you will be extremely happy. I know this because I live itt.

Bottom line: money doesn't bring happiness, but it sure helps! (just being realistic).

katiesmuff As harsh as life is I fully agree here. Have watched so many of my friends marry for love with nothing and almost all of them have now ended in divorce and had very unhappy lives before the divorce. - 18 days ago
Answerer Thanks. Yeah I totally agree, life maybe harsh in this was, but we can't ignore the facts, only love may not always hold a marriage together. I was trying to enlighten her before she makes a potential mistake, just so she is aware of what it's really like in a marriage. Same thing happened with my friends, that's why when I agreed to marry, I was not bothered by the fact that I didn't love the guy, as long as he loved me. I couldn't be happier! I don't regret it, especially after seeing love marri - 18 days ago

no way would I marry for money. money runs out and can't buy you love/support/respect or any other quality that a good relationship needs to last. I don't expect a guy to buy me things and 'take care' of me just because I'm the woman.

I think the only way it would be a problem is if the person was in a lot of debt- I hate to say it, but I couldn't marry someone who was irresponsible with money (and I'm not talking student loans or lines of credit), but that's something in a person's character more than just their wealth. But if the person just didn't have money because he was just starting out, I'd marry him, it's not like I'm much different. If I love a guy- then he's going to have the traits I would look for in a potential husband- and his wealth isn't one of them.

bellybuttonlint What you said is different. As a guy I would not ask a girl to marry me if she were in serious debt. Someone who is not responsible with money is not responsible period. That's a serious flaw that needs fixing. - 18 days ago

If the guy I love doesn't have money but he's working on it and has been through a lot, and is no gonna quit or isn't a loser, than I would totally go for love, but if he's a huge loser that's not gonna change, then no way am I marrying someone who is going nowhere... no offense to anyone...
And then there's the fact that I don't think I could fall in love with someone that doesn't take care of himself because I find that a HUGE turn off. But if the guy is working hard and isn't gonna quit, and we're in love, then yeah! Things will work out... and I don't know a lot of newlyweds that start off with a whole lotta cash and are totally financially ready... :)

I don't expect a guy to take care of me or pay for everything, I don't want to depend on him financially, so it would depend on *why* he had little money. If he relied on everyone else to pay for things rather than making his own money or wasted money on stupid things, it would bother me. That shows that he's not financially responsible, which is a turn-off. If he just didn't make much money, I wouldn't care.

I would marry for love. I'm a romantic at heart. I want to marry my soulmate, I want that connection that you feel like you've known each other in a past life. I want a man who is going to be sweet, kind, considerate and has his entire heart just for me. I would be much happier with a guy like that than with a rich man that I didn't love deeply. That would just be such an empty and shallow existence, you wouldn't truly be happy. Plus I am a get money kind of girl so me and the poor guy could find a way to get money together.

Well, you should had an option in the middle. Yes, money is important just like looks and appearance are important to a man, it's a shallow thing though, who says that he\she doesn't have a bit of shallowness, is lying I guess..
I won't be attracted to guy who is totally broke, he doesn't need to be wealthy but not broke with no education, marrying is building a life, how on earth could you build a life with someone that can't live on his own? If you love someone sure, but in one point reality will strike you and you'll start having problems..

If you're in the beginning and you can't handle that fact stop right there, whether it was looks,money or any other thing that a person can't change.

some of personality features are a major turn-off though you can be in love with the guy\girl but can't live with that kind of person. It happens!
