Marriage

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is quoted as saying “The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.” (American first lady (1961-63)

I married for love and do not regret that decision.  Money comes with expectations and prostituting one's self for the belief that happiness comes with money is ridiculous.  If you want money...make it yourself.  But truly examine if money is what will ultimately make you happy.  I have found that time spent with my family (wife, two kids, two dogs) produces the most happiness and money comes second.  Sure I would like to take more time with my family but you don't appreciate something when it is given to you.

well i wouldn't marry someone i didn't love but truth be told i'd hope he had some money also because while it's great and all love doesn't pay the bills.

I have been married for 35 years and we are really happy and still in love with each other very much.  But God forbid if my husband was gone and I was single again, I would have to marry for money this time, I don't think I will ever have the kind of love my husband and I have now, but marry for love please.

WOW, 35 years. My hat goes off to you.  You don't see that very often anymore in today's society. people don't seem to stay together long anymore.  BRAVO!

1st time for love ...hopefully that works out, if not, better look for a mate that will make you laugh!

I would marry someone only for love. I dont think it will be worth it for money. Money can only go so far.

Money.  What's love got to do with it?  I've had love now I need money.

this made me smile a little- but it's sad though ---  Marriage should be independent of money or job title, status, etc.  Marriage is a LIFE TIME committment and I could lose my job tomorrow, right? 

BUT I think many people probably still consider more of the other things in life (Money, etc) to be more valuable than true love.

Oh.... and you can't fake love ..... and you may or may not "grow" in love with someone when you get married for the wrong reasons

Great reply Valerie1979 ty
