Love marriage is a fairly new concept. Before it was just a dream and the topic of romantic novels/screenplays but who could really marry out of love in former times? In the majority of cases, marriages were arranged (both for nobility and peasants) and even nowadays in many countries, it's the reality that marriages are arranged. I do believe that love can also grow in an arranged marriages. Though I can understand that some people get married to escape poverty, I think, that if you get married because of money, not out of the sheer necessity to survive but because the spouse can provide a wealthy lifestyle and therefore you marry this person without any shred of love or affection, it's basically a kind of prostitution. You're selling your body to a wealthy person. But on the other hand, as long as you're an adult and nobody forced you into the marriage, it's your own decision if you do it for love, mony, visa or your parents to shut up.

I think for a marriage to work, you have to able to go through thick and thin with someone. I think that if you marry someone, you make this person your family and you don't abandon your family just when days aren't so sunny anymore.

I believe in love and marriage is the commitment of a couple for loving until death. I disagree with people who get married for money and for compatibility. In my opinion, people should get married to a person who really loves. That means, a person who attracts you physically and intellectually and of course, it should have compatibility (similar thoughts, believes and hobbies), but I think that only compatibility is not a reason for getting married to a person.

All marriages would be tough, whether you marry for money or marry for love. ;))

I think love is not enough to marry. Marriage must be good choise including logical sides. However thee are lots of people who have love marriage but their love dies when time passes. Because these people understand love dies, and to continue staying together we need to another things rather than love in marriage.

Marrying for money or phisical apperance is not good reason for me, too. The important thing is to find someone who shares same or similar soul, logic, hobbies,personality etc.

There are lots of people who marry for having children, that i am also against. Having children to be mum or dad is very weird! :)
