Resolved: People should marry for love and not financial security

To follow the rule of round number two, I'm disregarding what my opponent presented above since it could interfere with what I could put together, and could give me an advantage. Going by my opponent's resolution, I can deduce the follow. My opponent must show a reasonable argument that, one should primarily marry for financial security, love is out of this equation. I must, on the other hand, show a reasonable argument that, one should marry primarily for love, financial security is out of this equation. Not to say I cannot bring financial security into my argument, just that the resolution to be followed, bringing financial security up, has to be completely disconnected from the reason to get married. Having that cleared up, I'll proceed with my argument that, love should be the primarily reason for marriage, instead of the reason my opponent proposed. One of the key things, is for me to define what love is. This is extremely difficult, but I will try my best. Love: Love is an emotion that makes us experience many different things, unless suppressed. Love makes us see the world in a different way, put the other before oneself, trust with no reason to do so, brings compassion, affection and kindness to even the most brute, etc. You can understand love more by feeling than expressing with words. Marriage: Marriage was first design with the intent of finance, this have change along the years, however. Some countries still hold similar values as to what once marriage was created for, and there are religious versions of what marriage is. Therefore, there are just too many ways to define what marriage is, and my opponent did not give a definition to which version of marriage this debate was about. I'll take marriage as a union between man and a woman/husband and wife, which can be consider to form a family. Marriage; 1- the formal union of a man and a woman, typically recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife: http://oxforddictionaries.com... Family; 1- [treated as singular or plural] a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household. * a group of people related to one another by blood or marriage: http://oxforddictionaries.com... Why marry for love? You will try to understand the other, even if it is impossible to do so because you won't think on such of possibility. You will want to be with one another, and nothing can erase this desire. You will be happy since the presence of one another will be enough to make it so. You won't mind sacrificing cuts that many deem essential; you will be content with little, and hope for the better. Love gives you willpower to go on despise anything. You are more capable of raising kids; loving your kids are essential to raising them. Sure one usually love their kids regardless if they love their partner, but the differences between their parents, and the lack of love between them, can influence negatively into a child's life. Having parents who love each other, present a better understanding between each other on how to deal with many situations they will have to face together. The household will be a better ambient for children to live in, when their parents love each other. Things that counter my opponent's end. By marrying for love; There will be little to no chance of any violence to occur. You won't think of being stuck, with no way out. As you are together, you don't have to worry about stability of your finances to collapse, if you are ever in such position since you would know how to live with little, as it once you did, and the most important thing is still by your side. You will always be attractive to one another, as what is in the outside is mostly disregarded. Age or other possible change in physiognomy won't matter. You will fight the difficulties for love, and not for the pressure to remain married. I like to ask the followed questions to my opponent. Question 1. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe for me what that love felt, or how you did you react by such of feeling (in the best way you can)? Question 2 (If question 1 is a yes) If you could love someone again ( or if you still love the same person), and they love you as much as you love them, would you marry a rich person instead of the person you love (if you both were ever to be broke)?
