Do you have to be in love to marry?

If you aren't in love with her, then she obviously isn't perfect in every way as far as you are concerned! You CAN marry without being in love, but I don't recommend it! Once you do, you will end up regretting your short-lived sham of a marriage -- and be lucky to survive the breakup!

Who really marries for love anymore? Serious, cuz no one stays in a marriage because of it...People stay married for pure convience. So, why not marry for convience? Marriage might freakin' last longer.

What I'm hearing is "you are being pressured to marry" . Is this right?

Or like many people you wonder if you will find someone better so you are thinking maybe you should take this one. Tired of being alone etc, etc, blah blah.

I really doubt you will be happy if you marry this person and likely will develop a sleeping problem since your conscience will be up in arms.

Set her free with honesty and you will gain a great friend.

I think a lot of people who marry aren't in love and is a big reason why they are so many divorces imo. Too many people marry for convenience or because they're afraid of being alone.

I could never commit for life to somebody I didn't love, and so I wouldn't expect a man to commit to me that way if they didn't love me. What's the sense of getting married without love? That's part of your vows...to love, honour and cherish....without the love it's just not the same

Who will love but won't marry;
And who will marry but won't love.

AHHHH Yeah!! Marriage without love...is like a body with no heart...nice to look at, but can't function without it!

We have all heard about cultures with arranged marriages...but that is not the way we function here. Take a look at the divorce rates in North America and ask yourself why this is happening....ONE REASON....the love is not there!!

To have marriage and no love, is love with no marriage.

This wise old man told me one time....and i believe him so much that i would spend my lifetime shouting at the top of my lungs that i was right while you shouted at the top of yours that i was crazy.....marriage has nothing to do with love, its only being able to find a person that can deal with your shit as much as you deal with theirs...

Honestly yes a couple should unconditionally love each other and be able to say the wedding vows with sincerity and mean it when they say til death us do part, forsaking all others. Being genuine and sincere and caring and loving each other.

Why would you marry someone you don't love???? I don't get it. You are asking for a world of trouble. What happens if you meet someone you do love?

Stay single till you figure it out.

Never say "I love you" if you don't mean it. Never get married unless you are in love.
Once you are married, make it work. Don't give up at the first sign of a problem. Marriage is forever, at least it is to me.

I think that is a key thing..Why would you want to be around someone if ya didnt love them or care for them? There are so many failed marriages these days that is more common to be divorced or separted than single. Anyway? What is the big rush to get married? Shouldnt people get to know one another and perhaps be live ins before they marry?
