Love Or Money When it comes to having love or money I think love is more important. | |

I've lived without love for many years. I know it's great and would love to have it. But in real life, I need money to buy food, clothes, and have a roof over my head. So I'll choose money. | |

(Didn't quite follow you there..I'm slow today..lol) Ok... If I lost the opportunity to be in love to keep $$$,I would come up with a plan to find love So basically Im saying I wouldnt give up one for the other because I would find a way to keep both make sense?

But what if you lived in an apartment...didn't own any land...were still paying on your car...and you met and fell in love with the man you're now married to, and he was in even worse financial shape than you..lol... Do you think it would effect your desire to spend your life with him, even a little??.. | |

I wonder how many people really marry for money. Honestly. It seems like such a stupid thing to do. Not WRONG, per se. But misguided. Because as I said, you need both, and choosing money and cutting yourself off from love. . . I don't know, if there is somebody who has had that arrangement and been happy, I'd love to talk to them. | |

Do you feel that your values concerning love and money could fluctuate depending upon the circumstances you find yourself in?? (this goes for anyone else, too..) | |

Yeah, I tend to agree.. ...it's not WRONG necessarily, just not the best reason for marrying. I'd also tend to think that the heart's desire for love (when it's not present in the relationship) would be stronger than the mind's desire for money (when it's not in the relationship)... | |

I think it happens more often than we would lke to think. I think finding "true love" in life is extremely rare. (I should add, my definiton of true love is probably different than most peoples also...) Marriage to me seems to be more about convenience, companionship, family and habit. Not very romantic but quite practical. And of course, I'm not saying that's everyone. I just think that's the majority. But what do I know? I could be wrong. |

Wondered how many of us need the "security" there first, then the love there second...or vise versa... | |
