Why marrying for money should not be reviled !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by Daanyeer »

.........."financial considerations have always been part of choosing a mate as marriage is, to a large extent, inevitably an economic partnership. In general, the man was, and often still is, expected to provide the bulk of economic support. Thus, even in cultures like ours in which romantic love is taken as a prerequisite for marriage, women frequently speak somewhat euphemistically of marrying for “security.”

Many people look down on the recently deceased Anna Nicole Smith because they believe she wed her octogenarian billionaire husband for his money. Indeed, the woman or, less commonly, the man who marries for money is generally considered to have done something vile.

I believe that this stigma is unwarranted and reflects a poor understanding of marriage itself. In the modern West, marriages are generally supposed to be entered into for “love,” an ambiguous phrase taken to denote a combination of sexual attraction and deeper affection. This assumption of love as vital to marriage is unwarranted. Throughout most of history romantic love was not a part of marriage as most unions were arranged and this is still true in many traditional cultures.

Marriage is close to universal as a practice among human cultures. Marriage for love is limited to those in the modern West.

Indeed, financial considerations have always been part of choosing a mate as marriage is, to a large extent, inevitably an economic partnership. In general, the man was, and often still is, expected to provide the bulk of economic support. Thus, even in cultures like ours in which romantic love is taken as a prerequisite for marriage, women frequently speak somewhat euphemistically of marrying for “security.” In fact, it is at least arguable that, among those women who intend to have children and/or to depend on their husband’s income, failing to take a prospective husband’s financial prospects into consideration might be irresponsible.

The bias against marrying for money seems to arise when a person – usually a woman but sometimes a man – makes a great leap in financial status through marriage. However, I think it makes no more sense to stigmatize someone who makes a strong economic gain through marriage than it does to stigmatize an individual who makes a similar improvement in financial status through a hit record, starring in a movie, authoring a best seller, or patenting an invention.

Marriage is just as respectable as paid work and marrying for money ought to be accepted as just as good of a reason to marry as any other motive.
