The one you marry is the one you love?

Some people say we should marry the one love you more than you love him or her. How do you think about this opinion? Do you agree with this opinion?

I think marriage should involve two people in love. Because I think it's so hard to sleep with someone you don't love and bear children with him. And maybe it will never last if love is not the reason for marrying. There will be unfaithfulness with each other if they met both the one whom they really fall in love with. It doesn't make sense if you will marry because of tradition, culture or by force.

well it is true that we all decide to marry the one we love. we should always conisder this of course and not some other reasons... marriage built of love would have a greater chance of staying and enduring the times and trials of a married life.

I understand that all customs vary with this opinion. Me I want to marry the person and love and he in turn loves me back. This would be ideal.

Well, my husband loves me and I love him too. I think it's better to marry a person that you know you love each other and not that he loves you only or you love him more than he loves you.

Yes it is better to marry someone you love, than someone you do not love. Proverbs states: It is better to eat soup with someone you love, than stake with someone you hate In the long run love will withstand the trials and tribulations. :)

You should definitely marry the person you really love! But there are some cases when this would not be true. This is when the girl get pregnant and is forced to marry her boyfriend at a young age. Then they realize later that they really don't love each other. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and a partnership. There definitely be trials to come along and it is only love that can help them endure it.

Well.. it is true that you should marry the one you love, then again everyone has different traditions. According to arranged marriages, the couples do not have a chance to date each other and are forced to marry each other, which is wrong. On the other hand, if you marry the one you love more than you love him or her, that is a great thing.
