In marriage, which do you prefer love or money?

I wonder how people think is more important qualities to consider in choosing one's lifetime partner. Presumed that no divorce allowed. And please explain your choice.

    love... money isn't going to keep you happy during hard times. it's not going to somfort you when you're sad or ill. it's not going to love you, like someone you married for love will. even if we're dirt poor, i'd still be happy as can be with my fiance because i'd have him. money isn't as important as people make it seem sometimes. money isn't going to fill the emotional needs people have to be loved and gie love in return. it just won't work that way. like shania twain said in whatever ong that was: it's not going to keep you warm in the middle of the night.

    BOTH!!!! because if love, you still fight with each other over a money, like; you cant afford to buy some neccesities or other important stuffs at home and especially if theres no food at the table at all. you really fight with each other for that reason and ended up a divorce. while if money; your stomach is always full, you can buy all your needs and you can give your children whatever they needed and wanted. well, theres no reason at all to fight. so, its not prone to a divorce in this kind of stituation. if theres love and money nevertheless you'll be the happiest family ever. so, its both!

    When my husband and I married we did it for love. But I always believed in him and saw him as he is today. He came from a poor broken alcoholic home. I came from a barely making ends meet working class family. He has done well--very well. He shares his success with me. He tells everyone that he couldn't have done it without my unconditional love and support.

    But, you know what, we can't imagine life without each other. I would never have left. He's my soul mate. We complete each other. It's been a huge struggle, but well worth it because we're still together and still in love.

    Love

    Because it is immortal.

    Not money because in that case the boys are looked down upon and can be treated as a purchased husband or son-in-law all through life

    I'd rather have no material possessions over living a lie. I'd choose love!

    For me, love is essential and money is necessary in a partnership. No marriage, thank you.

    Love, because that is what grows and lasts, gets you through all things.
