On behalf of my friend. Is it better to marry someone who is stable or someone with low income but you love.

I wouldn't settle for less than both if you are intending to have DC but if you have to chose, love is not enough on its own.

Love love love...

I fell in love. Thought he was a bit of a bad boy, I was wrong, he was the best kindest man. And he was bloody good at his job (as was I) so between us we've ended up with plenty of money.

I know it's easy to say, but the money would be worth nothing to me, if I didn't love him.

It's the love that makes me happy. The money makes it all easier. But easy without love is pointless.

What jobs do you both do?

Well done for your careers.

A sex worker (escort) has sex with a man in exchange for money. The man knows the escort is with him for financial gain only and it's a fair transaction. Any woman who marries a man for money/financial stability instead of love is a sex worker in denial and is conning many people. Only the coldest, most materialistic of bitches marry for money and pretend to be a wife. Normal women couldn't care less if their husband was rich or poor. My advice to your friend would be to get herself on adultwork to sell herself at a price of her choosing and save her poor "low income" boyfriend from spending the rest of his life trying to earn enough to please his spoilt wife
There is nothing wrong to want to marry a man capable not just to earn to survive but to have a good career and earning good money. Having lovely lifestyle, beautiful spacious car(s), better opportunities to give their future children better chances to get a good education and career prospects, hobbies, development.

To go on holidays worldwide up to 4-5 times a year. There are only 5-7% of them but they do exist.

Especially when a woman has a good career and earns good/big enough money herself or has her own successful business. She often want a similar financial match for herself.

Both, or don't get married at all. I don't think either is enough without the other.
