Would you marry for money?

Never asked by anybody rich enough ???

DD turned down a very rich young man who was besotted with her.
He was lovely too!
But she was too young at the time anyway and seems to prefer to struggle.

I'd marry for money if we got on well enough.

Having someone to share your life with counts a lot for me and if the person is particularly comfortable financially, all the better. That said, I would need to be sure he was kind and generous before committing myself. No point in marrying someone who is mean with money.

I had the chance but said no. I sometimes wonder whether that was the wisest decision but not often.

Definitely not !
Even when you marry someone you love with all your heart (and I did) there are trials and tribulations which make you doubt your feelings and your partnership.
To have doubts when you married for cash and convenience must be awful.

But there wouldn't be any doubts if you both knew you weren't marrying for love. One less problem, possibly?

This thread reminds me of the line from Tennyson ""Doänt thou marry for munny, but goä wheer munny is!" ['Northern Farmer, New Style.]

Next time - definitely - but there definitely wont be a next time.

Never had the opportunity! - would like to fall in love with a man who is stinking rich, but had 2 poverty-stricken husbands. But if I weren't head over heels mad about DH, and if the rich man were a really good friend, with lots in coomon, I might consider it.

Just want to mention that I am still married with no plans to change that! I married for love, but in my 'old age' a kind, wealthy partner would be nice.

Only if he was 99 at least, and very infirm so that I could push him down the stairs and inherit everything.
. Seriously,- never.

Would be very happy to marry a nice man who was comfortably off. Love and passion is all very well but rarely lasts, whereas friendship and a comfortable life style are worth hanging on to, and I'm sure that affection would develop very quickly!

PS. But definitely not the aforementioned Donald Trump!

NO!

What if he's comfortably off, has nice big house and is happy to have it redone from attic to basement, very fond of my family, is decent-looking and intelligent, with quite a few interests in common?
Sounds good (almost talked myself into it while writing this!)but after a relationship of a few years l was bored.
Am much happier with my independence so no regrets.

Money can't buy you health and happiness but it does buy you choices and a life where you have choices can be a very good life indeed
Loves ok but being absolutely skint and stuck in situations with no choices puts a hell of a strain on love
If somebody marries for money and is perfectly up front with the person involved , good luck to them

henetha
I suggested that to DD but 'she has principles'!
Principles don't pay the rent.

ps I did think that DH was better off than he was

in fact, when we got engaged I found out that I had more savings than him!
which wasn't saying much.

I think I would marry for money if a) someone rich proposed and b) I was on the bones of my a..e. But I haven't come across either yet TG.
I always remember this old proverb: "When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out of the window"

The chances of finding a rich good looking guy is very slim. It would never happen. If I did however, I might consider it providing he didn't want sex. Couldn't possibly do the sex part.

Jalima!

No, I would always be worried that the love of my life would appear just as the ink dried on the marriage certificate.
