Monetary security or emotional security?

I know there are many women who think that "depending" on a man for either of these is just plain wrong but...IF you had to choose one of these and not have the other, which would you choose to have from your mate? Is it better to never have to stress over bills & money or to always know that your husband/boyfriend is head-over-heels for you and would never think of life without you? I know my opinion...mind sharing yours? Men, feel free to offer your opinions as well! Thanks!

    I believe most women would pick emotional security. One doesn't have to be too bright to know that there will be good times and bad, but if you have a solid team ( a unity ), you can handle anything. And love is infinitely more rewarding than just having your accountant always telling you good news.

    I'm a guy and that's my answer too.

    I would go for the emotional security. I can always find a way to pay the bills!

    Really don't know.

    Just had a friend marry a guy for money. She is just over 30, and was seriously afraid of being alone, and always struggling to pay bills.

    I would go with the emotional security :) It's what everyone needs, it's precious, it''s what money can't buy.
