Summary

Men who marry moneyed maidens hoping to get their hands on her wealth deserve what they get, which most times won’t be good. But girls marrying guys with gold is quite different. Men who make money reveal much of their positive masculine desirability whereas a lady’s bank balance reveals nothing of her feminine desirability. Why do men in uniform fascinate females? Also, learn why, in 1970, AMC paid $75 Million for little more than rights to the Jeep car name. Other topics include: Yin & Yang, Grand Coulee Dam, and why weddings happen after men propose to women (not the reverse). The Beatles lied in 1967 when they sang “All You Need is Love”. The real meaning of the Biblical jewelry when he gave her gold at that desert well where Rebecca was betrothed to Isaac, sight unseen, and the future of Israel was assured. When he says, “I love you”, does he mean it the same way as when he says, “I love roast turkey”? A great Russian novelist accurately wrote “Money is coined liberty”. A financially ambitious man is far more likely to love freedom than a community activist, a politician, or a government bureaucrat. A great American novelist accurately wrote “The man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably but the man who respects it has earned it.” Such a man is a far better bet for a good woman than a man who can do no more than express pretty feelings about her, which, in truth, camouflage selfish intent.

The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.

0:13.9

Welcome everybody to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show.

0:17.1

Thank you for being part of the show.

0:19.5

And let's dive in right away.

0:22.3

Because I was busy planning and preparing and laying out this show today when I received a phone call.

0:31.9

On the phone was one of my dearest friends who raised an interesting question.

0:37.9

And in answering the question, I said to him, you know, you are one of the very few people,

0:45.9

to whom I can comfortably say the following words without fear of retribution.

0:53.4

And the words are that many times, if not most times, women are better off marrying for money than for love.

1:05.1

And he laughed and he said, yes, of course, that makes sense.

1:09.7

And then it occurred to me that this was something

1:13.2

that, yes, it did make sense, but it was also something that I thought that would shock the

1:19.2

majority of people who heard me saying it. And here on this show, I'm profoundly blessed

1:26.2

to have people who do not switch off the minute I stop massaging

them with warm butter.

1:34.8

No.

1:35.8

No, they listen, they struggle, they grapple, and then they evaluate.

1:42.1

They either agree or they don't agree.

1:43.9

And sometimes you write in and send me emails on our website at rabbi-Danielappen.com telling me that you do agree and you liked it or why you don't agree and why you think I am incorrect on a particular point. It's great. I love the give and take.

2:06.6

And I thought, you know, what we're going to talk about today is exactly this particular topic.

2:19.6

As shocking as it is to hear, I am going to make the case that in the majority of instances, a woman, if she's going to marry for either love or money, she should rather marry for money. And the reason is that will there be mistakes if you marry
