Deedee123x: To marry for love and spend the rest of your life barely scrapping by with your soul mate.
Or
Marry for financial security and never want for anything for the rest or ur days with someone you have not much attraction to?
I'd puke at the 2nd option
But I don't think the first option is much of an option either.
Much as some people thinks love conquers all...it doesn't.
Many loving relationships have broken up due to financial worries and woes.
Love is only a part of a relationship, an important part certainly, but unless both people are mentally capable of living scraping the end of the barrel for a lifetime, then it isn't enough.

I agree with you. I ask because ud be surprised or maybe not so surpris ed by how many of option 2 marriages are out there....I know a couple myself
annaroach: The first one for me,, we would find a way to make it work!
Oh god yes to number one all day long....couldn't marry for anything but love...wud just hope a gud ole lotto win wud be thrown in somewhere along the way.
Can figure how anyone could marry solely for money...but they r out there.
Know a couple where the woman was a stunning looking woman who was always dolled to the nine best of clothes nevery without hair n nails done....her hubby was not a bad looking man but was always dishevelled looking ...let himself go weight wise. ...they just looked so odd together for want of a better word....she admitted one night that she loves him.that's way because it guarantees her that no one else will look at him so she doesn't have to worry about him cheating. ....I know that's not really on topic but it's just baffling that two plp who love each other or ud hope they do that they wouldn't want their other half to be the best version of themselves
I was asked that question many years ago in in my early 20's so If your question is open to men who respect ladies I will answer the same as I did then. - I would go for the first option and Love. Plus 1. Hope that both of us would do our best to provide for and take care of each other. 2. I would have a second profession to provide more security for us and 3. Do my best to protect her against any Harm or outside Interference, with my own life if needs be .
I did my best on all three counts but still lost my wife after 41 years to a sudden stroke that proved fatal. Despite a Parsimonious lecture from a Public school senior C of E Bible puncher I told him ** Cheers but I've booked my place to play Drums in Mepphys big jazz band downstairs 'cos I can't stand "Flapping" angels wings, Harpists and tone deaf Trumpeters. **
