How do you know the one that loves you . . .
Actions speaks louder than words. when someone is always telling you 'i love you' but his/her actions prove otherwise, there is no love. Also there are reall test of true love,sometime one have to pass this test to prove his or her love

if u ask me i think its better to love the one u marry. This is cos it can be asked what if she never grow inlove with him? but dont also forget that it can also be askd when she marries d one she loves, what if the love fades away or gets awry especially when he doesnt love her as much as she does? All she needs do is to open her heart to love except if the man is wicked or unlovable...beauty never loved the ugly beast frm the begining but she grew in love with him nd cos the lov was genuine, the beast turned into a hansome charming prince. How ever, the best is to combine both...marry the one u lov nd then love the one u marry. Ladies Be wise...

It depends where you are "standing".
Are you about to take a decision or already in the marriage?

Spirit of Okija:

If the one that loves me dosent have Big breast, mad curved hips, big yansh, yellow skinned, blue eyes, 6feet tall, American trained with american accent.. Then she cant possibly love me.. no matter what she does..
lol, ur teast high ohh. Then what ever u see make carry. Love is far more than that. Thats lost not love, i dint see big ass on ur list or dint u think abt cooking, ability to rep when u away, talk in public, respect etc.
Bro gud luck.

if you are forced to marry someone that you don't love --- you will never respect him or her. kiss kiss kiss

Respect is key in marriage --- love comes and love fades but respect is key.

All i am saying is that how do you know that all the "actions" and "words" are not all Nollywood script?
There is no way to know who loves you, i see it as all games of trial and error . . grin

dis is a vry sensitiv stmt &open-ended.it's a fallacy 2say i luv u wt my whole hrt wen i'v nt livd wt d true u,wil i continue luvin u wen livin wt u?.most pre-marital luv ar selfish in nature.we fall in luv wt personality whereas we liv wt xter.most marriages dt collapsed started wt 'i cannot sleep wi'out seein u or hearin ur voice'(infatuation). i do ask, wea is d 1st luv?.of course,gr8t luv is req b4 marriage bt gr8ta luv is nided in marriage- cos it's al abt toleratin,understndn,acceptin imperfectns....

Even with the biggest and most effective lense, it will not be enuf to see what is beyond your nose when it comes to love and acting a script

what u need in a relationship is understanding love will come later,is better for a woman to marry a guy who loves her than to marry the one she loves.

Respect is key in marriage --- love comes and love fades but respect is key.

God bless you, as for me, respect comes first before love.

If you dont respect me, then how are you gonna love me?

Even when the love fades, respect will still keep the marriage going.

Ortis: the best is loving d person u marry........most crashed marriages are based on i love him/her b4 d marriage bt afta d marriage dy stop lovin each oda bt wen u start loving nd appricatin wat u hav or who u marry i tink u wil get 2 knw dat person beta cos u hav made ur hrt reali commited

Thank you! Wonderful advice. I couldn't have said it any better. The challenge is that most people have defined love to satisfy their selfish interest and that is why most marriages would never work. I think it is time people are educated that love grows when we choose to allow it grow.

denny4ril: MARRY SOMEONE YOU LOVE. TRYING TO LOVE SOMEONE YOU MARRY WILL END UP IN STRUGGLES AND QUARRELS.
Marriage is not bed of roses. if everything fails, LOVE always keep couples going. learning to accept d other and focusing on areas of strenght as you help build such is inevitable for peace and mutual understanding which makes love grow. Relationship is like a tree, if U dont nurture it, it will get choked.
No mata d love u have b4 or after marriage, if u stop doing what sustained d love, everything will grow old and stale.

The flaw in all you said is the boldened. Because of our selfish definition of love, people would always tell you that love fades but when you choose to love someone and not the unnecessary feelings of lust we call love, you always see the good side of it because it was your own choice to love the person.

Just so we are clear, we are talking about genuinely loving someone, not just wanting to rip their clothes off right?

I agree with her mum cos love grows with time. She should learn to love him. Yes,they wld both ve their difference s and flaws but the ability to put up with it all is wat is called love. Even if she thinks she wanna get married to who she "thinks" she loves,there wld still quarrels too n she wld still put up with it. So wats d big deal? D truth is just dat she is not willing to love dis guy. She just has to want to love him,else it wnt work n she ll be miserable 4life with him. Vouloir c'est pouvoir...

The earlier people start trusting their parent the better. Well since the situation is like this you have to love the one you marry. This is the hardest form of relationships but if the people involed can be patient to make things work for them, this type of marriages always last longer than the love marriage.

And what if time is not their friend?
I think couples shuld be allowed to make their choice with only guidance from the parent . .

Fhemmmy: Ummmmmm.... I will never advice such.
A man/Woman that marries someone he/she does not love always find a way around to look for love elsewhere . . . . It is dangerous as happiness is always at stake

The are a millions of Indo-Asians in the UK and in Asia who marry someone they don't love and they stay faithful.

So where did you get "always find a way around to look for love elsewhere"?

am telling you from experience, if someone loves u, you will know. If not now maybe with time. I'v also come to realize that love grows. Most of those started in lovy dovy ways of nollywood do not pass the test of time. They fade away easily. But true love will stand the test of time, thru rain and sunshine it is there.

I support the two options. She can marry the man if she allow her heart to love him.
I thought gone are the days, you select spouses for your child.

I don't see them divorcing based on infidelity like love marriages.

And I don't think there is any stats that says they have offsprings of other people.

So how did you arrive at "always"?

love is not enough yardstick to marry for me compatibility and comfort is. so i am going with loving the one you marry.
