Given a choice, will you marry for money or for love?

Introduction
Nowadays, money and love become indispensable. Money and love are also need for people to
survive. Love is an unconditional affection towards someone or something. Money is a
replacement for love, and an unsatisfying substitute at that. Why do we get married? Is it for love
or what a person offers? These are questions you might ask, and get numerous answers. If given
a choice, will you marry for money or for love? Some people think that love is more important
than money while others think another way round. It is difficult to tell which one is more
important. Everyone has their own opinion or point of view, with that they pick from money or
love. What is your choice?

Body 1
Some people say they need money to live, not love. Why?

1. Love can't buy things. They think they can buy things with money, which means that
money brings their happiness not love. This is because money is necessary to survive as
nothing is free in this world. World has changed, everything is about money. People
nowadays are struggling to earn money in order to afford the branded goods because of
theirs materialistic mindset. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money,
one can do whatever he likes. For example, people spent their hard-earned money on
materials objects to satisfy their vanity such as, genuine LV ,furniture, laptop, vehicles ,
and also many other things. They need money to buy their favorite things and earn a
good living.

2. If there is another statement that they think money can't buy love, it's wrong. Money does
buy love, although it’s not true love. Love is not perpetual, people's changes easily
nowadays compare to ancient time. It means that love changes, it is not eternal. They
think money is pre-requisite when marry as emotion can develop. Even if they can find
their one and only one true love, they need to have the ability to support them, therefore
money is more important.

3. Furthermore, they think most of the divorce issues caused by economy problem. Many
couple feel marry is for love, but after marriage realize that money is more important.
Lack of money causes discord between married couples. Couples who cannot overcome
their financial problems and cannot easily support themselves and their families may
reflect stress on their relationship. This can be referred to as financial incompatibility,
which is based on the views that each partner has of the partnership of marriage from a
financial viewpoint. Hence, most of the couple will quarrel and separated because of
money .So why they want to marry each other at the first place?

Body 2
Some people say love is more important than money. They say, "There are plenty of other
things that are much more important than money especially love." Why?
 1. This is because they think money can never be enough to buy love. Money cannot buy
love because love is a state of being and no matter how much money someone gives you
unless you actually love them you cannot fake it. To be with person that they are in love
will give their happiness. Happiness is the most desirable objective for everyone in life.
The people who have a lot of money, they will not be able to buy true love. Love is
honesty and trust. Marry is not for money.

2. On the other hand, love is something that will never end in their life. They will have their
love with them as long as they are live. As time passes by money will get less and less
because they used it. But, love never gets less no matter what. There are times, when love
is more important. They need money to survive, but love is the overall solution to any
problems that you face. Having someone that loves they keeps you happy. They feel that
there is always a need to do something for someone they love.

3. In addition, they are willing to accept the other half even though he or she is poor and go
through thick and thin. Marriage is all about compromise, they will be required to put up
with a number of his faults. Unless they truly love their wife or husband, there is no way
they will be able to look past these issues. Without money, they also can live a happy life.

Conclusion
As for me, I will choose marry for love. This is because there is no substitute for love. The
destination of love is marriage. Marriage without love will not last forever. Getting married does
not guarantee that they will be together forever. It takes love, respect, trust, understanding,
friendship and faith in your relationship. At the end of your life, then only you will realize that
money is important in our life, but money is not everything, only love and happiness are the
memories that we treasure the most throughout our lives. People often say that they can live their
life happily if it is filled with love and that they can live without money. But when we go deeper
into this statement it proves to be false. It is true that money cannot buy love and happiness but
money certainly can buy things through which an individual can express his or her love and also
buy essential stuff which would make them happy. Love is the most important thing in marriage,
money is just a means. While it would be nice to be able to say that love is all you need, you do
need some money as well in order to be able to enjoy your life and your relationship. Money can
be used to improve our quality of life and keep our life on going. Love and money cannot
compare with each other because it is neither correct nor wrong. If I must choose between
money and love, I will choose love definitely because love is way more important than money.
