The most important gain was that she was a woman who truly loved him, and he loved her. They had six children.
Sure he didn't accept to marry her for her wealth for the following reasons:
# The reputation of Muhammad was well know in Makkah (or Mecca) and was known as the wise, trustful, the honest. # khadija, through work with him, recognized how he is honest, faithful, and trustful. # Although he was poor money wise but he was from the most famous family in Makkah (or Mecca) and his grandfather had very reputation and was rich in money and character # Khadija understood that he would be an important figure among Arabs as one of her slaves told her about the miracles happened to him during his trading trip to the currently called Syria and Lebanon. # He didn't ask her for marriage but she was the one that asked to marry him. # He recognized through working with her that she is well minded and wise enough to be his wife. # He didn't use her money neither for himself nor for her but distributed this money as charity for the poor. When Mohammed reported that he had been terrified in Hiraa cave when he saw Jibreel, Khadija was the one who encouraged him and supported him by saying ''Allah would never let you down, you help the poor, and honor your relatives so fear nothing''. She introduced him to her cousin who had converted to Christianity, Waraqa Ibn Nawfal who let him calm down and explained to him his fate, he said: I wish I'd be strong when they will expel you out of Makkah! Prophet Muhammad exclaimed: would they expel me?! Waraqa replied: yes, no one came with what you came with but had enemies. He told him that if he would be alive he would support him in spreading his religion of Islam.
So, prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) gained a big heart that stood firmly besides him.
What the historians tell us is that it was because she asked him. He wanted to marry, but he had no money to support a family. He was predisposed to accept any woman who would have him, provided the money problem could be solved.
Khadija was very wealthy. Muhammad would probably have been satisfied with far less than she had.
However, it is obvious that Muhammad loved Khadija a great deal. We don't know whether he fell in love before or after marriage, but he certainly liked and respected her at the time he agreed to become her husband.
He was much younger than Khadijah, however both maintained a successful and prominent marriage
He took Hazrat Khadijah's mechandise to Yeman and Syria. She found him very honest and trustworthy. She expressed her desre to be married to him. Both of them were married together.

Lady Khadijah sent one of her servants, Maysarah, along with him to keep an eye on him and report back to her.
