Hi All, Today, more and more couples divorce. And the time when they part after getting married is shorter day by day. Maybe the love is runaway after getting married? Do you believe that love still exist in marriage?

Love does not end or begin with marriage. love exists because it is something in our heearts that we feel for another person. it is the powerful emotion that can lead to so many worlds. Don't let someone tell you that love will end with marriage. it could be the beginning of something yet wonderful.

simple answer if there is real love between both of the boy and girl , then after marriage they will love too, today love is just like a fashion specially for high class people, when the girls see that the boy is from rich status she will be ready to get marry, and same in boys when he see that the girl is attract-full he gets married , but latter they suffer from conflict with each other and seek divorce.

Ohhhhhh kajal1992 nice response friend I 100% agree with you now love is fashion. I also observed this things if girl is smart the boys will attract on her and if boys is rich or smart the girl will attract on him. But when they know to each other very well after marriage they feel they cannot live to each other. I am safe because I am not fall in love my marriage is arranged marriage and I love my husband.

I haven't been married before so I really can't tell if love will be lost after marriage. But I really hope it doesn't for me and my soon to be husband. I do know a lot of couples still in love with each other after so many years of being married. Maybe it will depend on the couple on how strong their relationship is.

Yes, I definitely think it does, it is a different kind of love, probably not the same as the high magical feeling that you get when you first get together. But the love that you feel later is much stronger and richer. It is difficult to describe it but it becomes more more unconditional and solid as gold.

I would like to tell the fact which is being happened in this society now.. I believe there is a love which is exist in marriage.. But it will evaporate after getting full satisfaction in physical needs.. Then how will this be a love?? Its not a love. Its just a physical attraction of each other. In olden days, divorce ratio is very very less.. But now its modern trend.. You will laugh out loudly..If you take survey on what ground the people filing for divorce.. There is a no solid reason behind this.. Ego clash is the major reason for each other.. But not all people are like that whom willing to get divorce.. There is no true love in marriage now.. We can't blame no one.. The modern society is like that... 50 years back, We can very easily count a number of divorce cases petitioned in the court in an year.. But now, Divorce cases only being petitioned rather than other cases.. Just imagine about how will be future generations in next 50 years.... My god... I can't imagine the outcome and also i am praying god to don't keep in the earth upto next 50 years to watch these things..

I don't what others feel but for us (I and my wife) things have changed so much after our marriage.We do not go out as often as before, we do not exchange romantic sayings as much. Life after marriage is much more complex as I once thought. There are many things to worry about.

Don't worry about what will happen,just have a good time and enjoy the life with your partner.

I think to many people rush into marriage. Some really are in love when they get married! Love sometimes ends over hatred of the other person. When a partner is betrayed,like cheated on. Sometimes love just fades away with with some couples that are married along time. I think the biggest reason people don't stay in love and get a divorce becuase they don't discuss any of the important issues couples need to! Like if they both want kids. Who is going to pay the bills. Other things concerning finances. How to raise and disapline children. Then there are the couples who have no clue how hard it is to stay married and give up soon after! Love does exist but not all the time!

The problem is people think 'love' is a feeling. As in a special 'wow' feeling inside. But love is a choice of the mind. Most people do not make a choice of the mind to love someone, but rather saying "I like this feeling, therefore I'm in love". Problem is, feelings fade. Love a choice of the will in order to last.

When two people marry each other because they love each other, it's sad when the love goes out and they divorce. Marrying each other means that they still strive to show each other how much they love each other. Unfortunately, some people forget this when they marry.

Hmmmmmmm why start this discussion something is wrong with you if you are married. But I like this discussion because I hate love before marriage. I know this is only attraction real love is after marriage. I observed 99% love marriage is unscussful. So I want to suggest all mylotter dont fall in love and hurt your family. Do the arrange marriage because this marriage is long life marriage because supporting both the family if something is wrong with any other. I agree with kajal2011 now love is fashion and spend unnecessary money for dating. Todays love is not real love only attraction if this is doing before marriage.

I do beleive love still exist in marriage. It's something a couple both has to work at to keep the love alive and the flame glowing like having a date night, picnics in the ark or a romantic evening every now and then.

Love still exists in marriange and even thicker than before.When we love each other,we can miss each other every day.

yes you will still love your partner after marriage. Although after being married for along time the passion will die down and you will change. But doesn't mean the love isn't still there. Just means you have to keep that spark alive no matter what it takes.

I agree with noppie. Love still exists after marriage. True love does not fade. It should always be nourished, so that it will always bloom. Why plan of getting married when you don't have that deep feelings for each other? It's a lifetime commitment. Would you like to live with a person, whom you do not love?

I think there is alot of lying, cheating and decption in marriages these days. They get married but they really do not want to be tied down to having intimacy with just one person.

Well in our region which is South Asia divorce ratio is increasing but still number is not that high which is in the western countries because our strong family system which is still can be seen easily. I think we are on loosing end because we are not listening our elders advice now a days which is not an good sign for our region. But still I believe engaged marriages are more successful than love marriages. Maybe others disagree with me and they have the right but I think pressure of our families keep us together no matter what are the circumstances. So Love starts after marriage in our region which is an good sign for us. Cheers

I believe that love exists even after marriage. However when added responsiblities take over, like children, their care and education and others, love seems to take a backseat and responsiblities seem to be a priority. When couples fail to understand that this is just a part and parcel of life and that they still are in love thats when love tends to disappear and only a sense of duty remains. Then, if one does not do the duty religiosly, we all know what can happen, a punishment so severe that all have to suffer - DIVORCE. What people forget is that even the children suffer during a divorce. Is it fair to them? They never entered this game voluntarily in the first place.

Yes, I believe that love still exists in marriage. Marriage wouldn't be marriage if not for love. The love of the couple for each other should even be stronger after marriage. This is the greatest challenge for married couples --- to sustain and even make stronger the love that they have for each other.

it does exist, its never been run away... ever heard, relationship gets better by time? it takes 2 to tango, sometimes love is not enough to hold on, there are lot of aspects, we talking about trust, respect, honor, honesty, and the most important thing is forgiving.., to accept our partner weakness, and to keep ourselves from having "never good enough" kind of attitude towards our partner, people learn time to time.. if none of those above happening.. love does fading away, what comes around goes around. yes?
