Made for each other or money for each other

Had it not been for money, it would have been the Barter system for exchange of goods and services. Money has been dominating every stage of our lives ever since it took the place of Barter system. Exchange of a good for another good is what termed as the Barter system. A slight transformation has been made and this system has been transformed to purchasing goods by means of notes and coins. It has become easy ever since money came into existence. Everything without any exception can be purchased with the help of money. A father, a mother, their progeny, and a good bank balance make a complete and happy family. Gender discrimination in their progeny requires the parents to have loads of cash in their account. This system demands cash as well as the goods from one side, a lopsided theory. Had it been Barter system, it would have been better. Male gender and a female gender, two sources of exchange. Development not for the betterment but for degradation. After all these years of development, I thought that the system would change and people would become more refined leaving all the superstitions, but it has worsened. Is it because of the supremacy of the Caste system, or is it because of the supremacy of the male gender? Here comes the question, love and marriage or money and marriage. Caste and money, or bride and bridegroom. Money is imperative for existence, but not for marriage. Bride and bridegroom are getting married and not money and the family. Think twice before you marry a person because you are marrying money and not the person. Relationship with money sounds awkward. It is money for each other and not made for each other.
