Trying to get some opinions.
What are people’s experiences or knowledge of the success and long-term stability of marriages where the primary motivation for getting married is for security and/or money? I’m not talking the weird celebrity marriages, but with people you know or know of.

ive personally only seen it work for one couple. that’s cuz she “trained” him to be a good husband considering his first 2 marriages ended because he was a chronic cheater. she was 20 years younger than him. she married for money, he married to have a younger woman. took about 10 years before they actually liked each other. otherwise i have seen several marriages that were based on money. most of them didn’t even make it to the one year mark. one made it 16 years before he got tired of her cheating.

Money does buy love.

I call it a two edge word. You do not go to the bank and ask for a loan to keep you company, nor to have *** with it, nor to grow old next to it. When you marry for any other reason other than love, you are going against nature and it will always back fires.
There is no money in the world that could take the place of the passion, love, and peace that only a love driven marriage provides.

My guess is it isn’t any different from the success rate of marriage, generally.
I think the best indicator of the success of a marriage is probably upbringing (and marrying someone with a similar one).

They never truly work for anyone, if you marry it should be for all the right reasons and money helps but it isn’t one of the reason.

It never works out dude. Because if you lose the high income, you lose the marriage, and in a situation like that, you want someone who will stick with you.
Marriage should be for love, not for money.
