Relationship before marriage necessary?

how do you know you love someone, unless you've established some kind of deeply rooted relationship with him/her? Whether this be strictly platonic, or intimate, if one is going about marriage for love, one has to establish love is indeed present from both parties in order for the marriage to be successful. And I think there must be desire from both parties for their relationship/love/etc. to grow even more, after

I really do think that having a relationship before marriage is necessary. I think that it's a good idea. I would have been comfortable marrying my husband had we not had a relationship before we got married.

I think it is very necessary. I do not think that you can just jump into marriage without being in a relationship first. I personally think that it is very irresponsible to do that. I've dated several guys that I thought we were good for one another and after being in a relationship, we realized that we weren't as good as we thought for one another. If we start randomly getting married before we really know the person, the divorce rate will be even higher than it is now.

It is necessary to know each other before marriage . It is not necessary to show that you are in love. If there is love there will be a commitment. For that relationship is not ncessary

Hello friend, Establishing a good relationship before getting marriage is a great foundation. It doesn't matter if it is a long engagement or a short one,just knowing each other for a matter of time is a good way to know each other well. Once you get married without making sure that you are both capable of loving each other without any doubts and that you are willing to forget your own selves for the sake of getting married,then,it would be right time for you to settle down. At least,you have both come into compromises before tying the knot,and if ever differences may occur during the married life,you cannot blame anyone,but yourselves alone.
