Should a Woman Marry for Money or for Love?

Marriage is a sanctuary that resides the Holy Spirit. The Bible was very clear in several scriptures, that the one who commits adultery is one who sins directly at God.

Why is marriage so important to God?

Because marriage is the place that brings forth family and it represents the Holy Trinity. We strongly believe that marriage should be honored by all but in the current era that we now are influenced by, marriage is seen as just another relationship with a wedding and a ring. But it is deeper than you think. When a woman is seeking a husband, she must consider several things – his morals, his income, his making her a priority. So, let's start by saying that a woman should never marry for love nor money but rather for RESPECT.

Ephesians 5:33 Every husband must love his wife as himself, and every wife must respect her husband.

Now, with that being said – for a woman to respect her partner, he ought to have something going for him so he has to be hardworking, ambitious, he treats her kind

ly and she feels secured with him. Respect does not come from a man lying in bed all day and night with no direction for his life and no job. So, we can see why women believe they need a man with money but a man with money doesn’t equate to a man you will respect. So ladies below, we share 3 basis on which you should marry a man (these are strictly from research and as usual, it will not apply for everyone due to different circumstance).

i. Marry a man you will RESPECT. If you have no respect for him, you will be unhappy in that marriage because what respect does for a woman is put her in submission to her partner which really means giving him permission to lead her because she trusts him. She will not be insecure about her marriage and it will be easy for her to have a friendship with him because she doesn’t see him as competition or a predator but rather her King.

ii. Marry a man who makes you feel loved, wanted and secured. A woman who feels secured in her marriage because her husband loves her and gives her the affection, attention and affirmation she needs, will go above what is expected of her. It is a known fact. A woman who is loved correctly will cook, clean and make love on the regular to her spouse opposed to the woman who feels like her man is cheating on her.

iii. Marry a man who is being led by God. A man who is led by God will always make the right decision because he consults God before he makes a decision he knows will impact his relationship/marriage. A woman will feel comfortable knowing her husband thinks through the consequences and pray on issues before he makes a move.

Bottom-line is, a woman who is in alignment with herself, wants a man who is ambitious, loving and who leads with authority and respect. So, we believe a woman should marry a man who is respectable and she has to define what respect means to her.
