About This Quote
The shrewd marry for money, the scheming marry for status, the calculating marry for power, but the wise marry for love. The best kind of marriage is the marriage that will accept you as you are and loves you for who you are. The shrewd marry for money because they think this marriage will bring them more money in the future. The scheming marry for status because they think this marriage will give them a better chance at success and respect in their career.
The calculating marry for power because they think this marriage will give them more respect and authority in society. They may be right, but I’m not sure if it’s not better to be loved than to be respected.
