Which do you prefer - Marriage without love or love without marriage???

Well, for me I'd rather not be married and to be with my love, at least I'm happy!

i'd prefer love without marriage because i'm not really the marrying type. i don't think i can manage all the commitments a married woman has to handle for her husband. i don't even want to deal with this "getting in good terms" with a man's family. if i can't do that even with the man i (would) love, what more if i don't love him. if you marry without love, you'd probably end up divorcing and so not only you, but the whole family would have to suffer the consequences. the kids especially, i don't think every kid could easily cope with a broken family. i'm wishing you the best in finding both love and marriage, though. every woman should get what they deserve.^_~

Love without marriage would be the better thing out of the two. I mean, you just see it every day. There are a lot of loveless marriages out there. That kind of cheapens the idea of marriage in many ways. The fact in many cases these days, it does not mean as much as it once did. In some cases, yes, it may mean something and both will go to together, but I think we can pretty much agree that the divorce rate is getting higher and higher for that very reason. In fact, there are many people that I know that will not get married for that very reason. They fear that while it might work out in the short time, they might fear that after a while it is a loveless marriage. If they do not get married, then if it does not work out, it will be much easier just to part, instead of being ensnared in the legal mess that divorce can be.

Love is important, same thing with marriage,marriage and love should go together so i prefer the important one as "marriage with love". Marriage is the expression of love, sad to say "some things" are mis-interpreted with the word "love" that's why they go unto marriage.Same thing I cannot consider, "love without marriage",it is because if you love somebody, then you should marry him/her, and if you don't, then maybe it is not really a deep love.

For me it would be love without marriage. I really do not feel that you need that piece of paper. I have been happy with the boyfriend that I have been seeing for the past 5 years. And I just don't feel like I need that paper.

Well, I think everyone hope could married with her/his love, and it is lucky if you marriage with your love at your marriage age( she/he love you too), but if we didnot meet the person we love at the marriage age, we still alone? waiting? till 40 years old? if the person is acceptable, and his shortcomings is tolerated, I think it is more safe marriage than those who deep love each other. Marriage is the tomb of love.

I will surely can't handle to marry a man that I don't love.I think I will feel miserable in that way so no way for me.Marriage for me somehow is still important maybe because of my culture.Divorced is not that common in our country so therefore marriage is important.I think marrying without love is totally not a good idea at all.It will just makes big regrets in the end.It needs connection and understanding to make successful relationship.Give and take and both couples will do everything just to keep that pyramid standing.So I prefer love without marriage but as much as possible,there is marriage.

It is true that marriage is the best bond for a relationship,that gives sanctity for the couple that lives together. The greatest bind to hold harmony and lasting relationship. Marriage is to secure and ensure the legality of a relationship. But,marriage is not enough sometimes to own someone that we love. Marriage failed when love is gone. And,living together for the sake of marriage is not worth living for. When love is gone,it's hard to say that,marriage could still bind a relationship. Thu i believed in the sanctity of marriage,i would rather choice a relationship with love and respect that,marriage without love. This is an individual choice,and everyone is responsible for each choice and principles. Sometimes,people judge other easily,unless they're facing same situation. I could understand how and what you feel. In this life,no one wants to have a failed marriage. And no one wants to have a broken family either. Have a good day always

Both of these are not good choices to have to consider. Living life either way would be unworthy. If I would have to make the choice, I would pick love without marriage. At least you would have the emotion and passion in your life. i could not imagine being married and not having love for or from that person.

For me marriage without love because many are today's are doing that because of money specially foreigner type and have many times when your together to develop love.

any major decision we make for a wrong reason is not meant to last, i suppose, and that include a decision to marry. maybe we should check ourselves first before we decide to enter into a married life for example. ask ourselves like: am i ready to marry, am i ready to take on the responsibility of a married life, am i willing to sacrifice part of myself for another, am i willing to let go a part of myself to embrace the other person, can i last a lifetime with this person with all his flaws, his short comings, and all? there are many aspect that needs to look into before embarking into a married life. and even love is something that should be examined fully if this is your sole reason for marrying someone. for love will fade when hunger in craving our attention. therefore to me, marriage with/without love is NOT a question here, but i think this an issue on person's READINESS to face head on the challenges that married life is facing or any major decision we make for that matter. take care.

Marriage without love may come in situations like marriage for convenience, forced marriage or perhaps pre-arranged marriage. These "legal" relationships can never be lasting if there is no love between the couple. In time one or both may seek the happiness and bliss that goes with love elsewhere. And when this happens it be the start of their separation through divorce or abandonment which would entail costly legal proceedings and child custody problems. Love without marriage is living together without the benefit of any civil and church ceremony and this is commonplace in our society. This relationship that is anchored on love would be one that would last because of that emotional attachment between the couple. The feeling of friendship, care and responsibility for each other and compatibility is the bond that seals their togetherness forever. This may not be the ideal relationship in the eyes of the law and God but it is lasting because of love. Anyway, the couple can always opt to seal their relationship through marriage anytime if they want to. But what is important is the love they feel for each other.

i would say love without marriage. marriage without love is like fooling yourself, while you still could get married if your single and inlove with each other.

If I have to choose between the two I would choose love without marriage over marriage without love. The reason people should be married is because they love each other and if they don't they should have never gotten married in the first place. That's why people should be very sure about themselves and the relationship they have before getting married.

What a difficult question you ask. Well i prefer both. Married with love. Then life will be heaven otherwise it will be hell.

Marriage can only be perfected with a genuine love towards one another. Having been married with someone whom you don't love would be very miserable. I never meant to say that love without marriage is quite good, but I guess it is better than marriage without love. If I'm gonna be in a situation being with someone I love but not yet married, I will do my very best to make marriage possible and both of us will exchange vows and enter into a covenant blessed by God.

Marriage without love is a complete hell. l agree with the rest that love is the most important thing.

Why not love with marriage? That will be the best choice. But regarding your question I'll go with love without marriage. I think a marriage without love will just lead to divorced. Unless of course along the course of your marriage you learn to love each other which of course leads to a happy ending. So make sure you really love your partner and your partner loves you too before thinking of marriage.

if your going to ask me any of the two, i choose love without marriage because i'd rather have love even without marriage than to have marriage with no love. you can still be happy with him because you know that he loves you. marriage with no love, it makes you miserable and things will be complicated. your not going to be happy with this kind of relationship. still love is all that matters.
