Love is free and wild, but I do not think that marriage should put it into a formal frame.

I would happily marry again, even though my last marriage was disasterous, down to the two people.

if you arereferring to marriages in iran , i am sorry to disappoint you. there is no such thing as an arranged marriage here. I strongly suggest you search and study iran and look at some of the pictures. don't let the media brainwash you , it is an insult to your intelligence and good judgement.if we want to save this planet , we have to start thinking that we are all living on a lonely planet , we are all on the same boat , and we don't , our childern all over the world , may have to wake up one morning at the start of the third world war..and that is not a joke have a good weekend my friendcheers and yess we drink too over here,the best brandswink

It's not marriage that is the problem here but rather the opposite. Too many people walk into marriage with hidden expectations. If you want to keep the love, you have to realize it's not going to be the exact fairy tale you pictured in the back of your mind all those years. It's extremely unfair to expect your partner to change his or her behavior just so everything matches your childhood fantasies.

So ditch the expectations and focus on nurturing the love rather than fitting it into a mold. You are two people living as one, so it's very important to respect both halves of the whole and not just your half. If you can manage that, you'll likely find that marriage is about the coolest thing in the world. JMHO

No marriage does not destroy love..... the following destroy love selfishness, lack of communication, the surrounding environment, expectations that are to high or not fulfilled...two people destroy love as they stop working at the love and putting in that romantic effort....

Love needs to be shown each day and nurtured or it shrivels and often dies.

Agreed. The only thing that took away the magic in my last marriage was his death.

A marriage, can include many forms. A marriage license issued by government is merely another tax and a means to gather information (statistics) on people.

A marriage does not destroy love, people destroy love..

WhatUwish4: Think what you want and live how you want (as you claimed to believe in an earlier statement).

Not all of us fit into your sweeping generalizations. Personally, I lived the experience so I tend to think I know what I am talking about.


thumbs up Hiya K! wave Agree, 100%. Been there, done that, and, hopefully, can gain that place again. The people I know that have had successful marriages/relationships hardly live in "fairytale land". Rather, just the opposite. More about accepting your partner as a complete equal. When that happens, EVERYTHING is better.

It only destroys it if you let it...why people think it changes anything is beyond me or it should change anything....I think some people quit trying because they view it as "we're married now so I don't have to show how much I love the person anymore....I got them and they aren't going anywhere"...It couldn't e further from the truth...this is how the marriage and the relationship dies....you are the only one in control of your marriage and relationship...it will die only of you let it....wave hug kiss hug heart beating
