is being in love with someone enough

I too wonder why it is so. Age does not matter, religion does not matter.. looks do matter to some extent. All love affairs do generate some news and gossip whether successful or not.

I don't think its more than a personal preference. If you love someone and want to marry them - thats enough. If you start putting criteria in place then you'll kill loads of good relationships. Once you share the same values, are prepared to make the committment and are in love - why not ? You cannot predict your life. You cannot predict the future. No matter how you try predictions and estimates fail by the zillion. So if you're in love, you're probably there. Its worth taking the risk. Its for happiness.

Moni, Being truly in love is one of the factors certainly. But, I feel, more than that, its important to have mutual respect and understanding. Without the respect for the partner it gets very diluted. Love alone cannot survive a marriage. I have practical experience. You take care, hun.

If you are truly in love then age is a secondary factor and religion also andas for looks give me a break as a person who married strictly on looks is a diseaster waiting to happen as people do age and do change and the hunk gets a pot or gray hair or some wrinkles and the doll gets cellulete and gains a few pounds and gravity takes over so now what do they do: probably divorce and look for some other hunk or doll. If you really love someone than nothing else matters much.

No i dont think love is good enough to marry someone , well there are so many other factors ion one life that matter , mARRIAGE IS NOT ONLY BASED ON LOVE YES LOVE CAN BE ONE OF THE FACTORS OF MARRIAGE BUT NOT EVERYTHING... like marriage has so many events of life involved and we definetly have to keep them in mind...and not necessary once in love and you will always be in love... am i rite..anyways no offences and have a nice day...
