Please do not marry out of pity, get married to someone you understand and who understands you too, someone you know you can live with and be happy, you musn't necessarily love her.

marriage is a forever thing and it shouldn't be ventured into lightly. it's a wonderful thing to marry someone you love and who loves you back and even better if the person is your best friend, that way you'll never get it wrong. but to marry for pity, please don't ever try it, it will cost you, a lifetime.

if u marry someone out of pity soon you'll start to pity yourself  Embarrassed .
 it's not a good idea, there are better ways to pity someone other than marriage.

Yet instances of where couples have been married without knowing each other before their wedding day (in some cases, just a few weeks/months) abound. Take arranged marriages in india, pakistan and some parts of asia for example. people stay together for a long time. because they have no choice, they try to make it work and to a greater extent, suceed. maybe its an overated emotion this love. As with couples that "love" themselves, this emotion like all others, tend to fade. just like u can't be angry all your life, or cry all your life or be happy all your life, you can't love all your life.

How do you account for the fact that even after you are married or going out with a guy/girl, you still meet people that tickle your fancy and would even possibly make better partners or spouses? you make a choice not to pursue such emotions as the end could be disastrous for all concerned.

And before someone interjects saying "but you didnt even have that in a loveless relationship to start with", the answer is they build it as they go along. Maybe not love, but a form of respect that arguably performs the same purpose. Call it "mind over matter" if you will, the end result in both cases, is the same.

Opinions please-----

I absolutely concur with you

stupid brainwashed people think love is what will make a marriage work yet all the ones who supposedly loved before marring are mostly getting divorced whereas those who did not love in the way they want us to believe stay together and make their families work.

No way. So what happens when you get married, extra marital affairs start on the same day you say "i do" or even before then?
Let him/her know that you no longer feel it. It will be hard at that point but remember that no matter how bitter the truth is, it must be said. Time surely heals all wounds and the dumped party will surely get over it.
The person might even wonder what he/she saw in you in the first place.
Get your happiness first, not pity for others when it comes to matters like this.

MARRIAGE AT EIGHTEEN:HOW POSSIBLE?
« #61 on: September 05, 2007, 02:20 AM »

            I am eighteen and married but most people i have met seem pessimistic about my marriage even family members.I lov my husband and he loves me i don't understand why people thinks i am joking or some can even believe it is posible.i want to know if there is anything an eighten year old woman cannot handle in marriage or is it my fault that my MR RIGHT came so early?Well so far am coping very fine and i don't see any sign of problem.I know marriage is not a bed of roses but is it that bad?

Marriage means totally committing yourself and spending the rest of your life  Undecided with someone. The PITY will wear out and thn you'll find yourself in a state of pity.
