[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know that this has to be gendered. I have all boys and while I just hope they find love and a successful partnership when they are adults, there is no doubt that marrying someone from a well off family will make life easier and marriage less stressful. I do hope they marry rich or umc if I’m being completely honest. [/quote]

I didn’t marry someone (dated for 2 years) from a well off family because I didn’t want that drama.  I am wealthy, very easy going and married someone that is smart and drop dead gorgeous.  She made really good money for her age, she didn’t finish college because she was in hospital for her whole junior year and needed to work to pay medical bills, came from a very poor family. Now she is a SAHM, great person, still smart and gorgeous.

The idea that a well off family is less stressful is naive.[/quote]

possible.  But the idea that more money than less is better is not.  [/quote]

Im the pp that said it doesn’t have to be gendered. I’m still not convinced that marrying umc is not easier. There are horrible poor families and horrible wealthy families. Obviously, you’d want to avoid both. If all things are equal, though, a bit of family money is helpful and a higher income partner is also helpful. I’m not saying love and a happy marriage are impossible without but I do think it’s naive to think that money does not solve problems. If you don’t have to argue over money, can outsource some cleaning/cooking if you want to, can go on nice relaxing vacations you can better navigate a lot of issues that arise in a marriage. You can buy a home you love. You can send your kids to a good school. [/quote]
