Can You Love Somebody But Wouldn't Marry Them? by intrepid: 12:49am On Aug 18, 2015
I ask myself this,feel it happening but can't understand it.Please is this possible?

It's not a case of use and dump as some minds would think here.As a matter of fact,there's been no sex and it is never gonna happen as agreed by Christian principles.

Yea,absolutely.

I remember turning a guy's offer down Cus I didn't see him as the kinda crazy guy who'll give me the crazy fun I craved for then,he was this saintly kinda guy...a typical husband type and having just a 'boyfriend-girlfriend relationship' with him would've been hella boring.

It depends on what's it you want in your partner. Will you find it in that person you're about to tie the knot with? That's for you to discover

Yes of course !!!

Love doesn't necessary culminate into marriage while marrying someone doesn't imply you love the person bunch more. Though detest is never in this equation cuz you won't marry whom you detest or love whom you detest !!!

Love should be the last thing to consider in marriage, marry who can get the job done responsibly, after he/she prove himself/herself as worthy then love that person still open ya one eye ooo so as as to see when things are heading south !!!

Surely.

A lot of people find themselves in relationships that the time and tide is not conducive enough to lead to marriage.

You seem to be suggesting a fearful or overly cautious attitude here in which case, both parties had better stay off any permanent commitment.

I don't think marriage is a sort of job or,that someone would be married to come do some job.

And what actually did u mean by considering love last in marriage? I need clearance ,that's why I posted this question in the first place?
Re: Can You Love Somebody But Wouldn't Marry Them? by djeezy(m): 6:14am On Aug 18, 2015
Yes its possible. Sometimes you just love the wrong person. The fact you love them doesn't automatically make them the right one. Simple logic.

not to deraiil the op's thread bt realy you made nice points only that i differ with having to open your eyes wide figuratively. You should nt allow yourself to abused bt that doesnt mean we should not work with our partner and tolerate differences which is what love does for us. Even if your love for that person is not upto 70%. Love in marriage or relationship covers a lot of things. Romance even comes from it. It would be selfish to love a person conditionaly i.e when they are good to us. I dont agree love should be the last.

My sister, time has passed and there are fake love everywhere only few relationship are based on genuine love nowadays unlike before during the time of our grandparent infact our greatgrandmothers also suffer some marital problems either from their husband, fellow wives or in-laws but they stay with their home through thick and torn !!!

I have never been heartbroken in my life and I pray never to be but I have seen people who are heartbroken and watched Heartbroken movies both local and foreign ..... one thing is common to all these people, they love that person whom they believe love them back and can never hurt them only to be disappointed and left dejected, depressed, hypertensive and possibly untimely death ..........

Then I asked myself, why should any sane man put all his egg inside one basket, why should any sane man rely totally on another human being who "CHANGE" is part of his inherent features

I am sorry, I see Marriage like an Office/Business where everybody needs to do his/her job as your responsibilities required you to do .........we socialise, we romance, we make love, we watch out for one another as family despite all that still maintain some level of caution and prepare ur mind for surprise !!!

The definition of Love connote "unconditional " but me , I ain't ready for any unconditional !!!

You have some subconscious issues that you can't even see and I think you need help seriously, maybe a psychologist.
Your comment,if true,simply means that you have prepared your mind for a wobbly relationship or a stillbirth one.Whatever must have configured your mind like that really death a deadly blow on your psyche and its unfortunate.

Love exists,true love exists.Issue is are you ready and can u recognize it when u see it.

I am a marriage counsellor myself and I know how many homes I have built with my advices so I am not sick as you think !!!
If you are an avid reader , you would read where I posted I have never suffer heart brake in my life !!!

I am just being pragmatic and I have found my own truest love .... Yet, Marriage is more of Practical endeavour than theory.... You have to drive marriage and make it work not based everything on "LOVE" .... or put your whole life on another "Human" in this dispensation , hell no !!!

Only God is worthy of complete trust , if you know what am saying !!!

i understand you and even agree with you. But you see,when you do your duties and do romance and look out for each other my brother it is still love bt we agree in the sense dat i dnt see relationship as a do or die affair so too. I do all you mentioned and if the person decides to leave i dnt hold them back even thou it will hurt me and i dnt bear a single grudge against. I hope for the best and am ever ready for the worst. That way i wont come down with the popular disease of the heart.
