Marry for Love or Not
Marriage and committment
Did you marry for love or money, or did you marry for a Green card?
Why do some cultures believe this nonsense as you may think?
People marry for many different reasons.
The other reason individuals are mainly taught to marry is for love, and it is the right thing to do when committing to each other.
Do I love luxury?
Marrying for love, usually means you have everything in life.
For many years Western people married for political reasons, and to have the power of money rather than love.
When marriage was about everything else but love there were no major issues or anything to worry about.
When couples made love the reason for marrying the divorce rate increased rapidly. People have made marriages stronger by increasing their levels of love and making romance an important need for them.
In this way, the situation weakened the whole idea of marriage.
What happens in a marriage is the romance fades away and love dies, and, in the process, emotions are not changeable.
Marrying for reasons such as having children with a partner, or of what you feel is a worthy deal to you.
Such marriages last longer knowing the reason is not about love, but instead for a defined purpose.
There are fewer expectations of the individual, they are themselves, and each partner is not expecting anything in return from the other, just a simple agreement is fair enough.
Some may think this way of marriage is to settle, but it is not to settle for but the wisdom of a marriage that is occurring more and more to least expect something from your partner.
It doesn't mean you shouldn't love your partner when you marry, but love shouldn't be the only thing in your relationship. By far many relationships are taken for granted and are being confused with love.
''You love the person, so you got to be there and do it.''
Marry for love or money!
- You must have realized now how easily and quickly you can fall in and out of love, relationships end as fast as they can happen.
- Before you know it, you want to get out of that relationship, feelings grow and change all the time.
- In using love as the main connection there isn't enough glue to stick on love disappears.
If the connection is lost between two people, or as the glue dries out then where does your relationship stand for you?
Why doesn't love to make a solid foundation?
Love can evaporate and this is what doesn't make love as strong as you think it is in your world. If you build your base on loving everything crumbles, and if it is in a long-term relationship.
What do you need in your relationship?
It is important to have mutual respect for your partner.
Being able to see each other through your eyes is not just about love. You need a lasting relationship together more than you need love. Love doesn't always carry you a long way.
Life is viewed from both sides of the partner like feeling the pain of the other partner, the joy, and frustration just as if it were your own emotions.
This can be useful when conflict arises to see both sides of the argument. Some people won't enter a relationship unless they feel a large portion of love for the other person.
It would be meaningless.
Healthy marriages are not cold emotionless experiences it is just not mostly about love.
Love is not capricious!
If you have respect and shared goals to sign a dozen binding unbreakable contracts, and love is not there, then what you have is merely an honest business partner.
Love of course bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
A marriage must have that deep caring appreciation for each other. Something to be worthy of and if it is that deep you need to work together. To marry for other reasons other than love is extremely rare, as in the above-mentioned.
You marry and take away the rights of a woman, this affects a marriage-minded, and problems are faced shamefully.
You have a full romantic love relationship and hope not to lose the attraction. To avoid ending up in a divorce you are united with a stranger with the hope that person will turn out to be a good person.
The attitude in an arranged marriage is to make it work, regardless of what others have to say. Initially, you will have a low-emotional bond which gradually would be worked on for the both of you.
Most people don't enter romantic love-based marriages with an attitude biased towards separating them. The love wanes but those who do are hard to be blamed.
Logically, there is no need to stay married if you don't have love. The problem is most couples believe in Hollywood ideas of romance and base their relationships on fairy tales.
You can't always like the person you marry but you also can't be in a cold relationship.
Love is required but in a spoonful is this how you see marriage?
Due to mutual trust and devotion relationships can last longer than you expected. Love is simply the feeling of attraction. It can be explained when there's a high level of serotonin-dopamine or epinephrine.
A feeling that makes one think of another is what love is all about. If love is highly important to you then maybe you should not marry.
The choices that women have in this modern day are good and it is also fine with the institution of marriage being weakened.
Sometimes sacrifices in a marriage can put you under pressure it makes you feel better without a marriage.
One could feel trapped by marriage for religious beliefs. As when divorce is forbidden, and when you finally are free of such a marriage a whole new life begins with you.
To leave your past life there and to be free from a loveless marriage. The more choices people have, the more divorces pop up. Most people don't have to feel trapped in their relationships anymore.
Couples who have lasted in marriages for more than twenty years had at some point thought of a divorce. That too is no perfect marriage, but these couples chose not to go through a divorce for other reasons.
Love, in the sense that many think of it, is a feeling that pops up when you least expect it. People can get on your nerves, hurt your feelings, and can let you down.
Once your feelings are hurt love becomes boring and love vanishes. The problem is that a high of love comes at the beginning of a relationship naturally but over time love doesn’t come so naturally.
It takes work to get better at what they feel or do. Most people are not raised to value others anymore.
It often gets to a point when one seeks divorce because everything gets too much to handle. Those couples who have gone by with each other for decades and never thought of divorce are rare and blessed with such marriages.
Did divorce become more common because love entered the equation in marriage?
Did divorce become easier to obtain and more acceptable?
