As many women say: love doesn’t pay the bills or put food on the table.
Love is manufactured and marriage is a business, so why not get the ‘most’ out of it? People generally marry others if they can get something out of it.
At the very base of it, men look for beauty and women look for a good provider.
But others feel that marrying only for money is a bad idea (my grandmother included), because it isn’t worth it in the end if it doesn’t work out.
Women who actively search for rich men, are usually termed ‘golddiggers’.
I really believe that money is a good servant but a bad master, so searching only for guys with money is usually not a fabulous idea with a happy ending.
MONEY IS MUTABLE
You can also take the stance that marrying for money is neither good or bad. It depends on how you view money because money represents so many different things in our life and can represent both good and bad.
When you’re in debt, money is evil.
When you have money, then money is good.
It displays our values and how we see ourselves and others in life.
Therefore, depending on how you already view money, it factors into whether or not you’d marry for it.
Would you do it?
(Yes, ideally we’d enjoy both, but this is a one or the other situation here)

I agree money can buy anything and everything but what if we don’t get any love and care from our better-half? Don’t you think it would be like fooling around if we marry just for money?
I read somewhere that women who marry for money end up earning every penny. Not a life I’d care to have.
I definitely wouldn’t marry for money. Why? Well, I’m already happily married, and we met when we were both broke college students. And although money can make life much easier, I don’t believe it can buy happiness.
But, I also wouldn’t marry someone who had no interest in being financially secure. If I were dating someone who was not financially independent or had no desire to become so, I would be concerned about their level of responsibility and how that would translate to our relationship.
Marry ONLY for money? Hell no.
But would a LACK of money be a dealbreaker? Quite possibly.
