Would you consider marrying a man for financial reasons, however practical it seemed to you?

Why or why not?

I should add... This doesn't necessarily mean he has a fortune, but a house/security/basic provisions. Just to avoid anything becoming misconstrued.

Well let's put it this way.. if he can't support me and a possible family, he has no business asking to marry me.

Security. Well, he can keep a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothe us. Doesn't have to be a palace but you get the idea. Also confidence helps.

For me personally Peacenic I want to be a stay at home mom if I have kids. I would like to marry a man who would provide for that. More important to me is a Christian man who understands how important it is to raise the kids God gives us.

Peacenic! Hi, still love the beard.

Sorry, I feel I should have worded what I said differently. I feel security, rather surety...safety, protection ALL come from the Lord and the Lord only as he is in the details, the very design down to the smallest (seemingly insignificant) matter.

My question was meant to sort of be more introspective, I suppose. I feel we as people can value too many worldly things, or put a premium on those worldly things but of course we still need basic things like food and clothes, shelter.

The purpose of the question was to ask if practicality trumped familiarity or even love, not quite like an arranged marriage but rather a marriage based on practicality with the possible promise of love coming later, affection, fondness. It was just a curiosity.

We men need the same. We need security as well.



I am a very hard working man and God has gifted me with many talents. Praise God!!



Even with all of what God has given me tragedy comes in life. God allows tragedy to come that He might test our trust and faith in Him.



Even as people we loose hope some times and fail to do what is required of us.



I find security in a Faithful woman who understands that the good and the difficult things both come from the Lord.



As a man I can rest knowing the world does not rest upon my sholders but Gods.



I rest knowing that I dont have to have all the answers because God reveals in His timing.



I rest knowing I dont have to fix everything because God oversees our lives.



When we understand and live in such security with God we have no need to point the finger at oneanother. We can just enjoy out lives together and praise God for everything that comes our way.



Thanks for listening.



Michael
