When you make the choice of your partner with whom to build a family, love and money play an important role. Although we may not like to admit it, we are often drawn to wealthy people, hoping to enjoy the benefits of their wealth. However, offering direct payment for romance or sex would be offensive and vulgar to many. Should romantic choices include financial considerations?
What do women say about money and love?

Here are some random (mostly on Reddit) testimonials from women on money and love:
"I knew a woman who was married to a member of one of the richest families in the world. One day, on a plane ride, she sat next to a perfectly ordinary guy, who had a perfectly ordinary job, who was quiet and polite. They fell in love. She left her rich husband, married that ordinary guy and they are still in love after many years together."
"Nothing in life is free. Marrying a man only for money means that you have been bought and sold. He will expect a certain level of performance from his new purchase (and not just sex) or you will one day be kicked out of the house."
"To be honest, I don't have a problem being bought and sold. Marriage is itself a transaction. I don't expect a Mercedes from her, or anything like that. Marriage will still have problems, with or without money, so why not?”
"If you don't have a relationship where there is love, money will not alleviate the stress that accompanies every marriage."
"There is nothing wrong with marrying a rich man. But marry for love, honor, respect and character compatibility".
"Money will not make your life happy. They will make it comfortable, until you want it even more. But it will never be enough. So better find someone who brings you real joy in your life. Money is a bonus."
What do the studies say?

Studime të ndryshme tregojnë se paratë luajnë një rol të rëndësishëm në zgjedhjen e partnerit apo partneres. Në një sondazh, rreth 56 për qind e amerikanëve thanë se do të preferonin një partner që ofronte siguri financiare, në vend të një lidhje të orientuar vetëm nga ndjenja e dashurisë (44 për qind).
Po ashtu në një anketë tjetër, 75 për qind e grave thanë se nuk do të martoheshin me një burrë të pa punë. Ironikisht, 91 për qind e femrave beqare thanë se do të martoheshin për dashuri në vend të parave. Një shpjegim i mundshëm për këto rezultate në dukje kontradiktore, është se shumica e grave i kushtojnë një vlerë më të madhe dashurisë sesa parasë, përveç rastit kur mjetet financiare janë nën një prag të caktuar.
Dhe një burrë i pa punë, është nën pragun e pranueshëm financiar të imagjinuar nga shumica e grave. Perceptimet e idealizuara të marrëdhënieve romantike, i japin një vlerë shumë më të madhe dashurisë sesa parave. Por kur përballen me realitetin, shumica e njerëzve janë gati të bëjnë kompromise.
Kjo shpjegon edhe arsyen pse një sondazh zbuloi se Gjenerata Z (e lindur midis viteve 1996- 2010), është grupi i vetëm që zgjedh dashurinë mbi paratë (54 për qind). Në një moshë të re, kur konsideratat realiste nuk janë ende të fuqishme, më e spikatur është ideologjia. Por në konfliktin mes dashurisë dhe jetës, dashuria nuk fiton gjithmonë. Ndaj, duhet një kombinim i ekuilibruar midis të dyjave.
Blogeri Mark Travers sugjeron 3 mënyra të mbështetura nga shkenca për të kombinuar dashurinë dhe paranë:
1. Luani lojën e gjatë

Kur përballeni me një zgjedhje midis një partneri afatgjatë që ka aftësinë t’ju ofrojë përfitime financiare dhe një partneri që është i gatshëm të përfitojë nga ju (përmes bujarisë, bashkëpunimit, besueshmërisë etj.), duhet të favorizoni këtë të fundit, duke mos injoruar plotësisht të parin. Ngrohtësia, në krahasim me kompetencën, ka një vlerë më të madhe në një periudhë afatgjatë.
2. Dashuria është investimi i vërtetë
Të bashkosh forcat me partnerin për të arritur një qëllim të caktuar, mund të jetë një vendim i zgjuar dhe në fund shpërblyes. Megjithatë, partneri nuk duhet të jetë mjet për suksesin tuaj, por ai me të cilin ndani suksesin e përbashkët.
3. Lumturia jep përfitimet e saj
It is wise to be in a relationship where both partners are first and foremost happy with each other and give each other positive emotions, as positive emotions are strongly linked to wealth creation.
So in the end we can say that although financial stability is related to emotional well-being, marriage only for wealth can lead to dissatisfaction or emotional disturbances. A Jewish saying says: "When love depends on something, and it ends one day, love ends with it." But if love doesn't depend on something like that, then it will never end."
