English Idiom: Marry money
Spring is the time for new beginnings and new love.
To stay in tune with yesterday’s idiom in the money, we will look at marry money today.
This one is pretty self-explanatory.
Of course, people do not marry money itself; they marry a person with a lot of cash.
I suppose marrying money is one way to escape the rat race and the daily grind.
Some of you out there may frown and say people are supposed to enter into the institution of marriage after falling head over heels in love with each other.
You may be right.
Maybe weddings should be all about love and romance in an ideal world.
The truth is, though, that capital, the amount you have now and your possibility of gaining it in the future, are significant considerations for many people when it comes to tying the knot.
In a perfect world, marrying the one you love would be the same as marrying money. In reality, things are often not so clear.
Some people wed for money; some people for love.
Some people marry the one they love; some people marry money.
