Love help: A friend of mine is marrying a man whom she doesn’t love but only because he is a wealthy man with stable job, a nice house. - Help.com

Sad :( and I certainly hope not!

I don’t consider myself an extremely attractive man lol. More average than not. But I have noticed that girls tended to pay more attention to me when I wore nicer clothes and drove a nice car. Could be that money makes a bit of a difference.

I personally don’t put much stock in it, and neither does my wife. But some people are perpetually worried about money. My sis-in-law is one of them.

I am familiar with a such a case that occurred recently. Yes, it’s happening. Both men and women are doing it. It just goes to show how lonely people can get–a person with money marries someone that he or she knows doesn’t really love him or her.

Maybe love will develop and grow between them. If not, the husband had better keep a close watch on the gardener!

People marry for all kinds of reasons. This idea of romantic love before marriage is relatively new. If marriage is what they both want, wish them success. Love will develop in time, just like it always has, if that is what they want.

I see no problem with marrying a man who will look after a woman in this way.
Both of them will be better off with each other than without.
Also this marriage will last much longer as there are no emotions involved.
I wish the new couple all my best, good luck.

Not having house money etc is a tough row to hoe. This type of marriage is far from a new thing.

My daughters best friend is Muslim and her parents had an arranged marriage. They are happily married.

As long as the women is not trying to use this man for his money, then it can work out. If she is going into this marriage wanting to have a satisfing life with her new husband, then she will get that. BUt if she is going into this marriage with the mind set of I will live off him with out having respect and appreciation for who he is as a person, then I think it will turn out badly.

i think it’s always been this way. there are always people that will marry for love, and there are always people who marry for mutual benefit or personal gain.
