Love is blind, Marriage is an eye opener

I believe in those sayings. Love is blind because when you're in love, you tend to be blind or try to ignore all those negative attitudes your partner has. Marriage is an eye opener maybe because some couple said that you will not realized or you will not know your partner better until you got married.

Hi bvdev234! It depends on when you get married after you fall in love. If you get married too soon, such as a few days after love at first sight, then I believe it is true.

i dont believe that love is blind. you get attracted to a person you think you like because that person is your type. you like the smile, the face and some of a lot of physical attraction. then when you get to know each other you will fall in love more with the way that person talk and the eay that person carry her/himself. then when you decided to marry then that would be another satge. i married the person i picked and i think i know her inside out before i got married to her.

Hi ya bvdev234 I couldn't agree with statement more. When I was with my husband a first it was hard because he was of a different culture and religion but I thought I could handle everything as I loved him very much. After 10 years of marriage I couldn't take it anymore and fled with my children to a refuge. Things are great now and me and my kids are really happy.

well... i not yet marriage but i think love is blind, it true.... because of my brother case.... so, i believe love is blind...

So true, so very true. So is living with someone and having children with them.

I think the opposite should happen. My grandma used to say open your both eyes well before marriage than you have to close one eye after marriage. It is true that character defects get out in the open more after marriage. One the honeymoon period wears off, one starts to realise what he is getting into. © ronaldinu 2008

I think this holds very true in alot of cases. You never know the true person until you marry them and live with them.

hmmmm.....i think right to some extent, but if u take anything for long run, any of them can be eye opener. Coz love is for short period and marriage a long run relationship, so u can say that love is blind, but if the same love is continued for a very long period without marriage or it is converted to marriage...sometimes we can have the same experience with the love. It takes time to understand the relationship and see if the both can continue with each other.

very true statement love is completely blind and marriage is an eye opener. it is generally happens with everybody.firstly they are attaracted towards each other then after marriage they can't even tolerate each other.

i agree.. once you marry its hard to ignore things that you would have before.. every little flaw and bad habit comes out for you to realize and deal with

hi oh yes you are right. love is certainly blind. Marriage is an eye opener. certainly because living under the same roof implies a lot of new possibilities and responsibilities. These possibilities and responsibilities remain under cover when in love. We can't see those. That's why love is blind. When reality strikes, we open our eyes. Marriage is the reality and we feel the pressure from reality. Those who can successfully manage the pressure, lead a comparably happy married life. Happy mylotting.

I like that saying. Never heard of it before. It's so true.

i am sorry i don't think so,love is blind,but sometimes marriage is blind too.something happened to my gf can prove that,but i can't show it in more detail,so much so that i think marriage is blind,love is an eye opener.my gf got a wrong marriage,but a baby was born,she is going to divorce her husband,but what the hell is that.anyway,i think love is veracious,though sometimes it's blind,although marriage is an eye opener, it's hokey on more than one occasion

Oh yes I believe this, but I don't think it is just marriage but I think it is all about living under the same roof this is why I believe people should live together for some time before they get married, we all put on a bit of a front when we are dating and most times the faults don't usually show until we are living together and sometimes the faults are there but we just don't want to see them or we are so much in love we accept them....when I think back at some of my loves in the past I say thank heavens I never married them...

wow. i've only learned about this quote a few minutes ago. And i was like surprised there's a saying like this. It's like someone saying they made a mistake marrying the one they loved. I dunno that's how it sounds to me. But it can also mean the person felt that upon marriage, they learned a lot more about each other and are now trying to work their differences. But shouldn't you marry someone because you love that person and accept them for who they are? Isn't that why people get married? well aside from those who married for money or for convenience it's supposed to be that way from what i know. Before marriage the getting to know you stage happens right? Getting married is the culmination. By this time you should have an idea what the person would be like after marriage. Communication is the key. The problem would be if you never talked about what would happen if in case you both got married. That would probably make marriage such an eye opener. If you think about it, almost anything major or done for the first time is an eye opener. Anything major that happens to someone that is. Like the first time you fell in love, the first job, the first day of school and so on. So it's understandable to say marriage is also one of those eye openers because you get to learn more things and experience more out of life. I wonder what that person would specifically say when they get the first child. haha.

I think it is absolutely true! I don't think have your eyes open is necessarily a bad thing just a shock until you get use to what you somehow managed not to see before you were married.

I agree with you about that it eye opener. cd

Just today I heard a man telling my boyfriend not to get married because when he did it was the worse mistake ever. And his wife was standing next to us. It was weird. So if marriage does that to a man, i'd rather marry a woman :)
