Show Description: I came across a recent study that says the average amount Americans would be willing to marry an average looking person they liked for money is 1.5 million. That made me laugh, although I have to admit, I might consider it. But seriously, it got me thinking about the five reasons you should never marry for, and money is one of them. Join the conversation as we look at marriage and what are the good reasons to get married.

Quotes to Live By
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will ? to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves."
-Ephesians 1:3-6
