Only for love.  Money doesn't make you happy but true love can keep you happy even when you have nothing but each other.

couldn't have said it better myself.

while finances are an important factor that can help make or break a marriage, i feel that if you marry for love you'll have a much more healthy and fulfilling relationship than if you were to marry for money. people that marry for money are really shallow.

Love because money doesnt solve anything you really need to love the person you are hoping to spend the rest of your life with.

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

Absolutely LOVE.  Without it you have nothing!  Voice of experience . . .  unfortunately.  I married for love but 17 years later realized it was one sided.  I had half-million dollar home no debt to speak of and someone that was not mean but just truly didn't care.  And in your old age if your spouse doesn't even really care about you, where are you?  Love is what makes the difference.  It can make a bad marriage worth fighting for but without it there is nothing to even work with to fix.  Now I know and understand the difference in "true" love.  Having it now, I understand why so many think they have love.  I did.  Until you experience that love that is soul-mate like, I don't think you can even understand what it is.  I can say it is worth everything to be where I am now.  I need for nothing with this love.  Material objects are just stuff.

For me it will be for love soon enough. =) We are happy and supportive that is all that matters. It is so easy for us to be together you couldn't pay me enough to be with someone I can't stand.

I think you have to have love, respect, honesty and good communication.  I think all those things go hand in hand. Yes, money too would be nice since most couples seem to fight over money issue.  However, communication on anything and everything is very important part in love and respect.  Me and my husband can and will talk about anything open and honestly and we won't hold it agains each other.  I think that makes us love each other more and more every day.   :angel11:

Marriage, well, I have been there and done that. I will never do it again. I would never have gotten married for money, only love, but it was a major mistake in my life. Live with someone, it is better and more cost effective.

Neither. Marriage is unnecessary.

I would marry for love because a person's money situation can change at the blink of a dime and once that happens it's pretty easy to break up with someone or divorce them.  On the other hand, If you truly love someone and you face difficult money issues, the love that you have for one another can help you to work through the dilemmas at hand.
