A marriage should be base on love. The thought of days of arranged marriages and choosing of village girls, are gone for the most part, but with these days gone, there are still people whom marry for money or for what they think they can get out of the marriage to line their pockets.

Marriages for money very seldom work out and have happy innings. Marriage is supposedly an event that takes place to last forever with the joining of two hearts. How can a marriage work if there is no love there? There have been cases where the couple learnt to love each other, but look at how long it toke for the two of them to be happy with each other. So are you willing to be unhappy for most of your life just to have someone else hard earn money?

In some cases the partner who has the money does not realize that the broke partner have no feelings what so ever for them. They think that this person would lay down their life for them, when in reality; it is all about the money, in many cases the broke partner is hoping and praying for the death of the money partner. Then there are some cases which the sponsor knows that they are just that, a sponsor! In either case, it is the making of bad medicine, someone feeling is going to get hurt in this money marriage!

Our society has gotten so money hungry that it is nothing for us to lay down with a person every night for their money. We will act as though we love this person and in the back of our minds we are praying that they will sleep in the other room. God create Eve so that man could have someone for companionship. Wanting to be with a person for their money and wanting on something bad to happen to them is not companionship. It is selfish and unfair!

Then this loveless marriage will often times have children as a way to guarantee the money flow in their pockets, now we have unhappy adults and unhappy children. This is because the adults know that this is a money marriage and the children can sense more things then we think they sense. The children will grow up knowing that mom and dad did not love each other. The children will find themselves, also, in non-trusting and non loving relationships. The old saying is that, money is the root of all evil, one evil that money can cause when marrying without love, is the raising of children in a non loving household. This is because the marriage for money will cause your children to respond to others just as they sense mom and dad is responding to each other and to the children. They children will grow up acting as they seen the parents act and so will their children and their children-children, this in continuing the evil cycle.

To marry for money is a breeding ground for adultery, lies, hate, abuse and sometimes murder. Marrying for love seems to be a much healthier and richer life.
