I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule on the passion/love vs money/security issue.
For every couple I know, their relationship/marriage was borne from an intense love, passion and mutual respect for each other. Sure, we grow old, life brings with it many challenges and unless the passion is nurtured it can erode....but in its place comes a deep, meaningful love for each other. Money can't buy that.
Far better to lay foundation with mutual love and then build/develop/acquire assets or monetary wealth together with the bond that already exists.
For every successful traditional marriage that works on the principle of money/security first and foremost....there is an unhappy husband and wife desperate to get out.
We have to ask ourselves....are we prepared to settle for someone we do not love or feel any real passion towards?....and I feel its a big gamble to take, to think that this may develop at a later stage.
I, personally don't need the money, wealth or financial security because in my experiences, those things, weren't important.
You're damn right I want to feel the love, the passion. I've never been a very materialistic person, so maybe that's why I feel the way I do.
The above by no means applies to everyone.
I don't want to sound like the preacher who knows it all...
It's just my own view from personal learned experiences.
