raumdeuter: I am diehard fan of love and I believe love is and should be an important factor why people get married. But is that the only reason why people get married? NO Should it be the only reason why people get married? I don't agree For those who do not consider it as a yardstick for marriage - Are they marrying wrongly? I don't agree People have different reasons for marrying and staying in marriage. Staying in marriage is a choice The fact that two people are married for years does not mean they love each other or still love each other or love each other better than those who separated. Also, It's not always the case that people who seperate hate each other. Two people could just decide to stay in marriage regardless - Tiwa could have decided to stay with TJ - Toke could have stayed on with her man - Angelina could have stayed with Brad They just made a choice not to. The decision could have swung in the other direction. So where does wrong or right comes in? |

The notion of “romantic love” as a basis for marriage is a very recent one, a very pervasive one - given its relative newness - and most of all, a very damaging one. Let’s first distinguish between romantic love, the arbitrary, nigh on undefineable feeling, from the commitment to care for, honour and remain faithful to one’s spouse, which is in a sense a better description of what love truly is. Nowhere is RL codified in law, religion, or science, or is actually demanded as a requirement for marriage. Indeed, while it may be present in a form at the start, true and deep RL grows out of living the commitment as described. Many in arranged marriages will testify as to how RL grow over time in marriages where CL was clearly evident and demonstrated. Indeed, RL as a predicate is actually anti-marriage, evidenced in the first instance by the number of marital failures, and also by the fact that marriage as understood in its essence cannot be articulated or fully realised on the basis of RL, and it’s attempting to do so that leads to futility and failure. Anti-marriage I said, because marriage is by definition lifelong and demands commitment independent of feelings. And quite often the challenges that marriage can throw up, seriously war against the idyllic setting that RL best thrives in. Anti-marriage, because one of its main purposes it the nurture of children and RL is centred primarily on the “feelings" of the adults involved, with a primary commitment to that feeling and not their spouse or families. Anti-marriage, because if RL is a virtue, if it is the predicate for marriage, when the RL vanishes or dissipates, or is surpassed by a stronger RL, divorce then becomes a virtue as well. I don’t think it gets any more anti-marriage than divorce. Like darkness is the absence of light, divorce is not merely the end of a marriage, it is the evisceration of what marriage is. Anti-marriage, because it explains how we get from “here to there”, when in fact it seemed unthinkable. If marriage is about the RL – no matter how intense – between two people, then why should 2 people of any sex not be married? That’s how to those of a recent milieu and mindset, getting there was a no brainer. It’s why the shallow and ignorant slogans like “equallove”, make sense to those that lack understanding but love to give credence to their feelings RL – or the emphasis on it - is what is overrated, not marriage. RL is what does not live up to expectations. RL which at best is an euphemism for carnal desire – which is why it only takes a perkier body or trying circumstances to scatter it– should not be confused with CL or ever used as the basis for marriage, not in whole, it can be argued, in part.

Kimoni:Holá Kim, Assuming one makes or agrees to the choice, there is no wrong person, only a wrong understanding and approach. Once certain needs and expectations are met, RL will set in, and even flourish. Maybe risky to say for sure at this point - but certainly current - I mentioned "arranged marriages" in my initial post here, but is it noteworthy that even some of the Chibok girls are seemingly content to remain in forced unions ? Timbuktou, well said jare...should have checked for you first. Crackhaus how far? "Where you been" as TVjnr often says. Come, some of your harem have been acting up like they seriously need your attention. Don't know how you do it dude, but glad you are back . TV 1 Like |

Understanding and endurance keep and bind a bad marriage together. Love keeps a happy family together. The fact that some couples have lived together for 20 years do not necessarily mean they are worthy of emulation. Being together for years is not a sign of a lovely relationship. Prisoners are mostly angry and violent, yet some stay in prisons for 100 years. The only probable and provable FACTOR for a happy family/relationship is MUTUAL LOVE. Posters should spare us the nonsense about understanding and co. Of course, understanding and endurance will keep you when love dies. Why any sensible human being will now choose understanding, longsuffering and endurance over love is something I will never want to understand. You can have understanding and endurance without love, but with love, you have it all. Endurance will make you endure a slap from your spouse. Love won't get you a slap, even in your dreams. 1 Like |

The person who is best suited to us is not the person who shares our every taste (he or she doesn’t exist), but the person who can negotiate differences in taste intelligently — the person who is good at disagreement. Rather than some notional idea of perfect complementarity, it is the capacity to tolerate differences with generosity that is the true marker of the “not overly wrong” person. Compatibility is an achievement of love; it must not be its precondition. Interesting notion. This might be what singles are are missing. Let's opt for someone able to navigate our differences intelligently and understand that we will most likely not be compatible at start but grow to be. |

Kimoni:Until recently pretty much all cultures had some sort of parental involvement in the choice of spouse. I don't think there is any gainsaying that parents - or their proxies - with the best interest of their children at heart will bring experience and a long-term view to their children' considerations. And, I think this works for all. In fact, I think that input should start way before marriage is even in view - in how children are raised. If they are raised right, they should be consciously or subconsciously able to consider the things their parents would have touched on. Unless one' parents are actually "bad" (for any number of reasons, and in any number of ways), I can't see how their input would be negative. When it got serious, I presented my wife to family elders, siblings - younger and older - and closest friends. I still made my own decision, but heard any concerns.
