Some people will go to get married, if they follow their heart to love the person; others will say they need to use brain over their heart. What if, they can use it both to love their special someone and get married. What do you think?

If only the heart listen to the brain there will be more peace in the domestic front and less legal battles. But that would also mean lesser income for the lawyers.

I agree, some people really needs to listen. But the stability can not be shown from the heart.

Zandi , the heart has its own brain which listens only there , it never listen to the main brain of a human person. It has its own world. I was able to smile in that line , lesser income for lawyers but it is the other way around that is happening , lawyers are having lucrative income because heart and mind doesn't meet , always in contrast .

Lucky those couples who have the same thing they love with the right person they think they want for the rest of their life. For those who use their brain sometimes are not successful but other also says you can teach your heart to love someone specially if the person is not hard to love.

Brain could not exist alone as well as the heart. God created us with brain and heart so we have to use them both in any decision in life.

Using both of them will give you the best answer or the solutions. God has given them to use it and I hope every one use it and take a good decision in your own life. May god bless you to bring good thoughts as well as to bring the best decision in your life.

I think you should always follow your heart, and what feelings you have which come from a sense within. Lust or looks should never be the deciding point in getting married because unless there is love, real love it probably won't last.

you cant decide it when one is in atight spot, our only options is to fight for both the quitter choose either one brain over hear or vice-versa. If you love somebody be true to them and fight for and with them till the end or if you are force or asked to marry someone love them and be faithful for them till the end that is according to me brain and heart.

I think that no one is going to be able to live a 100% happy life if they don't use their brain and heart together (OK, I'm not talking about mentally disabled people here). If you only follow your heart and emotions, you can get into trouble by people using and abusing you, and you may not really know the consequences of your deeds. If you only play by your brains, you're never going to have a 100% emotionally fulfilled life, and any kind of fun and passion in your life, which deep down all of us need.

Wise men say only fools jump in. It is wonderful to fall in love and go with what the heart says. But as the saying goes, love is blind, and I believe people should take it SLOW and really get to know each other first before they take the big plunge of marriage.

I think using both are inportant but now that I am older and i Hope wiser, I have to say I would use brains more than heart in a decision like that. It is easy to love people who are not good for us, and when that happens we don't see things in a practical way. We end experiencing many hurts and disappointments that we could otherwise avoid. The brain will tell you the trouble things that are red flags and if we jusy wait and maybe pick another person later we can save ourselves a lot of pain. Another piece of advise is this: when a person SHOWS you who they are, believe them. A mate who SAYS they love you but abuses you does not love you the way you need to be loved.

I believe that in order to have a successful relationship in our life, we need to be able to reach harmony between our hearts and our minds. You see, there are times that our heart is going to be telling us to do one thing and our brains will throw up caution flags all over the place. For me, I knew that I would be spending the rest of my life with my husband because I fell in love with him. In addition to that, I also knew that he was the kind of person that I wanted to spend my life with because he was both hard working and honest.

Hi Shavkat: You are so right. When you chose someone to love you should not base your decisions only according to your feelings because love can make us blind. We are rational we have to think if what we are doing is right and think about the future. Maybe there's passion right now but we also have to think deeply if we can see ourselves living with this person for the rest of our lives. ALVARO

hi, there are people or couple who are successful in their marriage meaning they used there heart and there brain,but as we can see now a days that its very seldom to see a couple who have been success in there relationship,i think for me being a transsexual person i will need to choose my brain and forget my heart.

I believe the heart fuels the brain. Our whole body is units that make a whole. When I see someone is attractive those are my eyes but my brain says thats a stranger or think before you act and my heart I believe led to that decision. I say use both but your heart will guide you.

It is neither brain or brawn that make a marriage work.It is self sacrificing love that brings two relatively brand strangers together.No relationship can be sustained by clever thoughts and dealings,only trust and mutual love can make a marriage work.

Any decision can be taken by your heart or brains but which decision will make you happy ? the one taken from your heart or the one taken from your brains? Example , your grandfather is living with you ,he's your only family left and due to this you dont have uch freedom at home. Your brains says shift him to oldage house and get your freedom but your heart says let him stay and cherish these moments with your only family, now, there are people who will go with their brains and be happy with it and some will go with their heart and find happiness ,it just depends what will give you happiness.

I agree that one has to love the person if one decides to get married, but one must also listen to the brain at times. So i's a matter of heart, but not forgetting about love either!

Think with your head but love with your heart. Sometimes your feelings will drive your thoughts and that can be bad, we need to make sure that what we feel comes from our heart and not our heads. We can make some rash decisions that we might regret later. You should follow your heart because your head will lead you in another direction. Think before you leap but love after you do.

The brain and the heart are both important.. They are like counterparts. A person that only has a "heart" and not brain will make all of thier descions based on emotions.. Which can steer us in the wrong direction... A person that just used their "brain" will use only logic to make decisions.. Grant the decisions would become easier because the thought would just be based on facts and not with feelings.. Life would not be so enjoyable if the heart is missing.. A person would not only losing the negative feelings of the heart but also the enjoyment of life.. Basically a person without a heart is like a robot.. but a person without a brain is kind of like a baby; but not even that good.. A baby reacts to everything good bad and indifferent.. They do not know any better..

Follow your heart~ That is what people always said to me..but I think we should not just let ourselves blindly go with the feelings alone. We are given brain to help us think so use both to get the answer even if it is not the best or will not give the exact result like what we expected it to be as through that we will learn to be better.(^^)

Well, in a couple relationship, in my opinion need to run both, which is the heart, the brain. I say this because if one of them gives in, during a romantic relationship, they start any kind of problem! From unbearable, the betrayals, and so on. Brain and heart are two elements of the human body that also perform the main functions to keep us alive.

Yes, you are right. It is better to use both the heart and mind when we love someone.Sometimes the heart and mind are contradicting in terms of decision making but we should be wise enough to use both of them so that we will not fail into our love life.
