Marriage is a huge part of adulthood that a lot of people value. In this day and age, marriage has probably lost some of its value. Some people do not see marriage as a step for them and when you listen to their arguments, you cannot fault them. However, a lot of people especially from my part of the world, still hold marriage dear.

People choose their partners for various reasons. Someone’s partner choice does not always look for others but in the eyes of the one who has chosen, it’s the best decision. That said, it is no surprise that some people marry solely for money while some others marry solely for love. Others however, choose to marry for both.
The world is an uncertain place and the only constant is change. You could like something today, wake up tomorrow and not like it anymore. You could have a lot of money today, wake up tomorrow and see it vanish. However, with all those in mind, it’s important you make your choices based on what you like, what you see and what works for you. At the end of the day, you have to own your choice and live with it.
I believe we all would want to be loved but at the same time, none of us want to suffer. We all would ideally want to have a partner who loves us while we both can provide for each other what we like. You can have money where there is not much love but still live a happy married life because it’s what you both want while you could also have only love and make things work.
Just be happy
However, I would like to have both. I would like to have ap partner I love who loves me and be able to provide for her what she likes and wants and provide for myself what I want. Also, I think love and money cannot solely make a marriage work. Though very important, there has to be patience, tolerance, kindness and forgiveness. I have often heard it is better you marry someone who is kind and compassionate because those two qualities in a human do not fade away. When you are with a kind person, no matter what happens, the kindness would always be evident and so even if the person is not in the best of moods, the person would not make you feel bad.
The subject of marriage is one that is serious and not to be taken for granted. I have always been of the opinion that if you know that you cannot make someone’s child happy, then just stay away and not make the person go through the whole process of marriage just to be very unhappy in the end. I say this because some people know from the get go, the union they are entering into would not last. Some just do it because they are probably at an age, they feel they have to marry and others do not for their own reasons.
Riding into the sunset
So, I think if you know you are not marrying for the right reasons, then do not proceed. I believe if you marry for love, money or for both, just try your best to make your partner happy. Being a source of happiness in someone’s life is very rewarding.
