Love is blind - Marriage is the eyeopener

I agree for most part of it. When couples are madly in love with each other, they tend to be daring and so passionate about one another. They are in the process become, metaphorically speaking, "blind" about the many different issues that surround all relationships because of love. But when given some time, this love has to enter a stage of purification. This is where the honeymoon stage passes and the real issues come out. True, marriage is able to wake us up to greater realities than passion. Marriage is able to open our eyes that love is not just about feeling good about your partner or oneself, but accepting the partner for who she/he is, no matter what. Marriage brings light into the fact that love welcomes good times, but has to weather the enduring timelines of bad and low times. That's what marriage does - it tests the love to bring out it's more mature and better form. I appreciate the quote, very much. It is so simple, yet catchy. There is a lot of truth to that, and, given a chance, I may as well borrow the quote in my future conversations with couples in helping them figure out their post-honeymoon stage marriages... if you would allow me though. lol Thanks for posting.

I think this is so true. When you are young and in love and planning to get married you kind of expect every day of the rest of your life to feel the way it does at that point. But after a few years of marriage, you've settled down, the excitement of new love has settled but a more steady, committed love has taken it's place. The one thing you need to be careful of is that you don't allow familiarity to stop you showing appreciation to your loved one.

Marriage is the recognition given to lovers by the society to live together and to enjoy life together. Marriage shud not happen between persons who love, but to persons who think they can continue to love each other throughout the life. Love is not blind so marriage never becomes a eye opener.

hahaha..that's really true..when your inlove, you dont really see what's the bad and good attitude of the person..marriage for me is a different case because youre already bind with each other..saying yes i do to one another..promising that you will be there no matter what..but i think if you really love that person and you marry him/her, you have to accept all of her/his weaknesses..that you have to learn how to adjust and be more flexible to handle different situations as an husband or wife..

Yeah i think i belong to such a category, While in love i cud just happily xcuise his faults , but in marriage and its a long run, i cant deal with them any more, i just seem to have lost it all including love...

No, love is not blind. It sees but it never minds. Before you get into marriage you have to keep your eyes wide open to see the totality of the person whom you love. Could you accept him/her for what/who he/she is? And when you get married, you keep your two eyes closed so that you could no longer see the defects that your partner has.

Marriage is the eye opener.Love can be so beautiful and we think we have got to take it to the next stage to make it more real wich is to marry of course.Why can't people just take their time in love have fun and be sure of the partner they are with.If people spent more time in taking their time when they did get married there would not be the big surprise eye opener because they would know what they had when they got married.

For a mature person who can understand the meaning of life with its ups and downs and pros and cons, love is no different from marriage and undoubtedly unconditional love ultimately leads to an unconditional marriage life. In my case, it was a love marriage and i was not blind when I was in love and therefore, there is no question of getting my vision back after getting married...we both share the same vision
