[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did some DH marry his DW for money or earning capacity?

I am now a trophy husband without a formal job, because my wife brings in the big money as a specialized Medical Doctor.  I probably wouldn't have asked her on a second date if I was just going by looks and general compatibility.  The earning potential and family connections/wealth made it easier for me to follow through to a proposal, and now I wouldn't trade her for anyone else, even if they were younger and hotter.[/quote]

Exactly - and most women don't bat an eye when it is a woman who wants to be a trophy wife and just stay at home.

"Trophy husband" here, responding.  I do provide part-time Daddy Daycare, bring in a little money on the side, care for the house, and cook gourmet meals for my wife every day, so I'd like to think I'm not as much of a dead-weight financial burden as some of the trophy wives I meet in the DMV.

My wife married for love, and now neither of us could imagine being happier with anyone but each other.

OP, there has to be some shared values and some common interests, if you want your marriage 'for money' to last.  Make sure the guy loves you for more than your looks; that's what worked for me, as a guy who married up.[/quote]
