Naah, he's just the only other person who calls me a Limey :P
And you got to love the Princess Bride!
If a relationship starts based on money, then the love that exists is for the money, and not for the person...
Love is much deeper than that. I would say that there are many relationships out there that come together and fall apart where the couple have never truly been in love, or the love was one way...
True love isn't calculated, it just happens... The types of relationships you've mentioned are more about compatibility than romance... One gets emotional / physical support from the other, for providing financial stability.
As I say, I'm just an old fashioned romantic, and love is something that you see in the eyes of another... When you're both broke, it's cold, and you have nowhere to go, and very little to eat, and you look into each other's eyes and you KNOW that you will work on it together... and you KNOW that the other truly loves you, and truly cares... That is something nothing can buy... And it's also something that, if you had all the money in the world, you would gladly give it away for...
