A marriage is not like selling a car. It is a life-long relationship between not only two people, but two families. Eventually those "wrong reasons" are going to surface.

I guess that depends on the couple, in my case as long as my parents and her parents aren't hassling me or her about our decision then I couldn't really care less what their motives are.
If after a long time passes one of the family members decides to take a turn of opinion or show a bitter or uneducated side of themselves, well this kind of thing happens quite often in any family, intercultural or not.
If after a few years of marriage I found out that her parents were mostly only ok with it because of the prestige they felt it would bring their business, I don't think I'd care so long as they didn't try to get between me and my spouse.
All this is assuming the spouses reasons are in fact not superficial or socially biased.
