Marrying For Money
Original Air Date: December 23, 2007
Show Category:
Marriage/Relationships
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.
