Is it a mistake to marry for security?

Security matters, and many good marriages include practical reasons. Problems arise if there is no respect or affection, or if one person is dishonest about their motives. Be honest with yourself and each other about what you are building.

Security can be part of a good marriage, but it works best with respect and honesty. Ask yourself: do I like and trust this person? Would I choose them even without the security? Be honest with both of you.
