The topic of a woman marrying for money, whether it is moral, ethical, showing integrity or lack there of..........well that depends upon the individuals and the conversations they had. When I was in my mid twenties and a single mother, a business acquaintance of my stepfather pursued me quite heartily for awhile. He said he did not expect me to love him. He simply wanted to marry me and provide quite well for my children and myself. He constantly did everything possible to prove his ability to do so. Showing off his luxurious home on a beautiful large horse farm. Constantly driving a different car from his collection of many. Sending flowers and expensive gifts to me at work. It was very difficult to convince him that was not my goal. Had that been my goal, given his approach and the conversations that we obviously would have had, I do not see that marrying him for what he was offering would have been wrong. Not within the light that the offer was being presented. Had it been a different situation........me proclaiming love and devotion because he had those things, lying about my intent, that would have been a huge lack of integrity on my part.
