both? I'm not so naive in thinking that there's just that one true person out there that you belong with. Think of how many people there are in the world. And as someone who doesn't beieve in "fate" and all that jazz, there is no way I am just destined to meet my "soul mate." I'm sure there a many people out yonder that I'd be compatible with and could easily love.
definitely agree. I'd marry for love. but then again, sometimes money can buy happiness...a good meal for example. a good meal would make me happy, so yea
Money is definitely a factor, but love is most important. And if they're a great person, who's honest and caring and all that smack, they're usually not dirt poor so it shouldn't be too much of an issue between love and money.
I'd rather marry for love I feel I have enough potential to become successful without the advice of my spouse & her family
Well, you can't eat love, and money can be a good distraction. Too be honest I don't really buy into the idea of someone being a gold-digger, while I personally wouldn't like to be married for my money it doesn't seem different from someone wanting to marry a film star because they are good looking or famous, you are still attracted to something that they earned.. even people that are good looking these days earn it, you have to exercise eat right, use a little make up, nip a little tuck a little etc.. I think I've gone off point :maha: I fully agree with people that say love can be fostered, its like in this movie where some guy says that he loves his wife as much as the day he married her and another guy says that he should love his wife more than the day he married her because of all their shared experiences. Ultimately it probably makes little difference if after 10 years or so you have a complete absence of one or the other your not going to last the distance. That said show me the MONEY.
And THAT is why I'm glad i met my will-be wife before I had money. That being said I choose Love. Simply because If you work hard and have a good career the women you associate with will be of similar or greater financial standing. Hence money shouldn't be a problem when you do fall in love.
they're both important, but if i had to choose it'd definitely be the money. i can't stand always having to be the one paying for someone else. been there, done that.
Love Because i plan making a living for myself even if he is poor i wont have to depend on him But it does help
Not sure how some of you think you can buy love with money...doubt you would be buying the real thing there buddy. I went with love. If you love each other, you will work together and figure out how you can make money and make each other's dreams come true, if that is what is important to you.
Love, because with the hell I've been through, it's the one thing I'm not going to be able to live my life without. I don't know what kind of drugs those of you who picked money have been on, or if you've just never really fallen in love, but if you genuinely think it's harder to live without a lot of money than it is to live without love... well, I actually sort of pity you. It either means you really love money, or you haven't experienced love that trumps all else. Or, the final possiblity, is that I'm a pathetic, hopeless romantic who is destined to get f**cked by his sheer cheesiness. I'm strongly favoring that last one
why do you get money? to be happy? you would assume the love of your life would make you happy? And no where on your poll says im not a successful person. if my true love is homeless they can live with me. Why do i have to be a Broke bum with no future? ill marry for love it will save me money so i dont have to buy Hookers or "escorts" what should of been the question was. Would you marry your true love even if she was extremely unatractive but you felt the strongest possible love for her? or would you marry the Most beautiful/handsome girl/guy in the world and you get along with them. both people have the same amount of money.
Love Whatever happens in life, I just can't stand to be emotionally alone. Buying someone's time so I can become emotionally attached to them just isn't right. I need somebody to love.
If it's true love, then love. tbh money can only go so far, and when you have love it brings a feeling that nothing else is needed, money included. That said, if it's a material love and you have no money, well, you're screwed
I think I'm too young to reply to this, haha. I'll wait until I'm... 24. I don't believe that I have truly 'fallen in love' yet, but I actually suspect that I *may* be able to marry for 'love' (i.e. accept a person who is 'poor'). But right now, I feel that it's really, really challenging. I have to put myself into context first ;D
