Money and Marriage


Marriage can be such a blessing: Two trusting people join hands, love and property to have, hold, share, and become one. But what if you have in mind a different kind of arrangement? Some people, instead, choose to simply marry for money. Is this a good thing? Can you think of a time when it’s ever a good idea to simply marry for money?

Brianna,
I think that its wrong to marry for money. If you wanna marry someone than you need to do it for the right reasons. Money isn't everything. But i think that if married someone just for their money in the long run the relationship would not end up working.

i dont think its ever right to marry for money you should marry someone because you love them if you marry for money and they end up losing all their money it wouldnt last thats why you marry for love because then even if your money runs out you still love them you just arent using them for money

people marry for all kinds of reasons like to be rich, or to stay in this country, or just for love but if they want to marry for money its their choice and its their wrong doing

I don't think its exactly wrong to marry for money. But its not good either. It could lead to and unhealthy relationship. Personaly I'd never marry for money, only love.

I think that it is wrong to marry for money, you should only marry someone if you are in love with them. If you wouldn't want someone to marry you for only your money, you should never marry them just for there money.

Shayla,
I dont think you should marry someone for their money. You marry someone because you love them not because they have money.

Jacob Bickel,
I think if someone wants to marry they should marry for love not money. And once they marry they can make more money than they did before if thier spouse has a good job or even has a job.

if you marry someone for money you don't really love them so you wouldn't want to stay with them your whole life.

I can't think of a good time to ever marry for money. If your going to marry someone then you should marry then because you love them not for money or something they have.

i dont think people should marry for money because the guy that has the money loses every thing he had when she devorced him

No marrying for money is not a good thing.! It is never right to just marry for money. You only marry someone if you love them, not for what they have or how much money they have.

Jacob Bickel,
Dustin- that is a very good description that you have. But some people do marry just for money.

Emily,
I agree with you for many reasons. Cause honestly you don't love the person if you're marrying them just for their money. & also about if the money runs out.. & you're married to them because you honestly love them, than money won't matter cause you'll have your spose to help you through the ruff time. But like i said money isn't everything!

Brianna i agree with you money cant buy love and its also not right to marry just for love if they have money but you love them then its okay

Taylor Back to Beau

Exactly. If you love the person enough you won't care about the money or anything. If you didn't love the person what would you do when the money ran out? Divorce and find a new rich man? Not good at all.

Jimenez,

mmatysak he wants Juliet to marry for money not because of money

Anonymous said...

Lord Capulet tells him no, because he has never met Juliet, and he wants them to meet, and see if she falls in love with him, because he wants her to marry for love.

mmatysak said...

Emily, he wants Juliet to marry for money???

Emily,

kyle,

no not really because marring some one for money is not love it means your inlove with the persons money and thats all you want is the person you married is their money and you dont love the person you just care about the money. If you really truely loved some one you would marry them for their money you would marry them because you loved them you care about them and trust them or each other and love them for just the way they are not for some dang money. love and marriage is about commintment,loylety, trust, realationship and honor each other for the way they are. they can be the pooriest person on the planet but as long as you love each other that is all that matters. but money can be a issue but the couple would have to work together on it to get the money.

Gregory Budde,

I think it is wrong to marry for money because people work hard for that money just for you to come and act like you love them and take there money.
