Money VS LOVE

Well I was feeling REALLY under the weather today. I think I ate something bad at a BBQ I went to( which is why I didn't attend class). But today as I watched the Tyra show a question popped in my mind. Do we really only marry for love? or is it for assets? I feel like there is a mixed message that our parents relay to us. Our parents always tell us to make sure you find someone that is " going somewhere" but what does that really mean? That translate to me is they better make money! On the Tyra show, little children were speaking on how they want to marry someone that has a lot of money and that that is the most important characteristic in someone. I find this truly sad that these children are taught this but the sad reality is this is how many people think. Is love as important now or is finaces more important. Now everyone always rates your significant other by status, appearance, and money. Audience members on the Tyra show was judging the mothers that told their children to only marry for money, but are they wrong? Since the society we live in holds the materialism on a high pedestal. Another social contradiction. We say to marry for love , but to make sure he/she can provide for me.
