    Default Getting married for money?

    Hey ladies, I was just wondering if any of you would get married for money or have gotten married for money? The reason why I asked is that since I was a little girl I wanted to get married for money. I had came close a few times but something always happen. Now I feel like I am ready for getting married for pure financial reasons. Tell me your thoughts on the subject?

    I think it is your personal choice and it's the lifestyle you choose. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, don't let others try to convince you otherwise. It's your life and you only have one. Most people don't have the balls to chase after they want like you do especially since society tells them that it's wrong. People marry for love all the time and end up being in a disaster relationship- so why not marry for money when money can buy you a more quality lifestyle, money can buy health in America, you can afford to have children, you can afford family trips and quality education and so on. Money does not only buy you designer shoes, it buys you a great life. But that's besides the point. The bottom line is that there is no right or wrong way to live life.

    I think that's what most women are trying to do. I think it's a smart choice. I don't see anything wrong with it but to me a rich guy wanting to marry a regular woman seems as easy as getting a SD. Headache inducing.lol

    I say go for it. People marry for money for the obvious reason of long term comfort. Now he could loose his wealth but most that come from wealth tend to know how to keep it. Just remember if you sign a prenup things are only great as long as he wants to keep the marriage. If not then it's curtains for you.

    I have no problems with other people doing it, but I could never do it myself. I hate most people way too much and sharing my life with someone I don't love would be a disaster.

    As long as you are at least like the guy. If not you are setting yourself up for misery to the point money isn't worth it anymore. Remember money only makes us happy for 15 minutes.

    If you like the guy and have great Chemestry then go for it! Win win

    I think it's okay to marry for money as long as you do have some friendship and trust there too.

    Then you can grow to love.

    Money is a huge priority like air and water so why not be with someone who has an abundance and willing to share it with you. Just be careful and don't let the money blind you or let greed overcome you.

    And get some appreciating assets so youll have something of value and a prenup so you know for certain how you'll be taken care of should the marriage go south.

    I think you can marry for reasons besides love and still work to have a good relationship. Love changes a lot over time; it sometimes dies completely. If you can build a relationship off of mutual respect and at least a general like of another person, I think the marriage has a better shot at success than many. And hey, if he has money, that just means there's one less thing for y'all to worry about. Financial stress is a huge detriment to relationships.

    Marriages that are arranged for reasons other than love aren't exactly uncommon, and are often more successful than (in terms of divorce) and just as fulfilling (judging by reports of married couples) as "love marriages." Love comes in a lot of shades, and even if it's not present the second you meet someone, it can grow very strong over years of commitment and cooperation.

    Sure arranged marriages can be successful but what the OP is talking about makes a mockery of marriage. Yes you should marry someone financially secure, especially if that person is also secure but marrying someone simply because they have money makes the new wife a gold digger. Fine if that's what they want but that's what it is. In general people need to marry for reasons besides romantic love (which fades)such as mutual interests etc. Let's not forget in this type of marriage there is no guarantee. Look at Anna Nicole Smith and how she didn't get money anyway when the old guy died.

    Well this isn't a sad thread so to speak. The thread can make you and you alone sad. Marriage may mean more to you but these days I no longer hold those same feelings. People look so happy in their wedding photos and then you find that they really weren't happy or after the honeymoon things went down hill. Usually the two biggest issues :

    Money
    Sex

    Either there isn't enough money or someone doesn't feel they're getting enough sex.

    Well, OP asked for opinions, and I definitely think some people will agree with you.

    To some people though, marriage is just not a romantic notion. It's business. I mean, don't most people see Jackie O's second marriage as one made to secure her and her children's safety and futures? It didn't quite work out as intended given her second husband's early death and Greek inheritance laws, but still. I'm a bit of a romantic and not a fan of the "gold digger" mentality either, but I suppose it's just a different way of looking at marriage.

    Then if people are miserable they shouldn't marry. I'm not a fan of marrying just to marry because it never works out well. Marry because you want to be with that person. I don't think most people look at Jackie O' marriage as a way to secure money as her family was already wealthy and so were the Kennedys. She was a different type than Anna Nicole, whereas she was educated and Smith was not.

    MyButter- I agree with you, but don't be too envious no one is always totally blissful, and keep in mind that what may be making those people happy in that relationship may not totally be just because of the other person. i love my boyfriend dearly, yet there are aspects that go with being with him that add to the relationship, such as traveling, that i would not be doing without him. being in any long term relationship is never souly about love, marriage or not. it is also about what you can gain from that relationship that isnt the relationship itself. will the situation that relationship puts you in also make u happy?

    I've been presented with this opportunity a couple of times, and I know for a fact that I wouldn't. I just don't have the capacity to do it, though I have respect for women who can. But - and this is probably the only romantic thing I will ever say - I could be living in a Penthouse suite, eating sushi every night, etc...and it wouldn't mean anything to me unless I were sitting next to my current partner. I would much rather be eating pizza in bed watching some stupid movie with him next to me.

    I think I would do it if I were financially desperate, but it'd have to get pretty grim for that to happen. I mean, I couldn't even do the sugardaddy thing because I'm too damn proud and independent to pretend to need money (not to mention, it was emotionally exhausting). My pride works against me in the sex industry, that's for sure.

    I have mixed feelings about women doing this. It's a hustle, sure, but I think there's a huge difference between hustling a guy's wallet in the strip club and hustling his entire life. We all have the capacity to lie, and when a man walks into a strip club, he should expect to be lied to for the purpose of fantasy. But when he wakes up next to her every morning, that's a different game altogether.

    I'm not attacking anyone; I get it that everyone has different circumstances. But I'm pretty sure we can all agree that it's a sticky issue.

    However, marrying for money does have some excellent perks. In hindsight, since money is unfortunately what makes the world go 'round, worry free financial security for myself and my daughter takes precedence over personal happiness. I can survive without ever experiencing love, but it would be extremely difficult to live with myself if I weren't able to provide the best for my daughter due to the simple lack of funds.

    Eta: I'm award that it is a gold-digger scape out mentality. But for me, I didn't want my child to have to live with the consequences of the poor decisions *I * have made in life.
    But what about if the marriage splits up or one wants to leave? that is the aspect people miss about this. Personally I'm a big fan of people working to achieve success on their own and not through others because often they find themselves back where they started. Marriage has a 50% divorce rate so it is very likely that many of these marriages for money will break up, especially if they were based on looks and the wife starts getting old.

    Kelly, how i was raised women never got married for love....my grandmother, her mother, and her mother got married for comfort. My grandmother lived for comfortable off her husbands' benefits plus her own retirement. So to me...I would never get married for love because that is not me or how I raised.
