Marriage... All About Love or A lot More?

Marriage – when most people think of it they think about the one true love they were meant to be with forever. But is love the thing that really plays the biggest deal in the equation?
For me I think compatibility is more important than love. There are many people that love each other but could never make it work.
The things I’m talking about are things like money, education, career goals, family, etc.
So what do you think? What makes a marriage work but if its not there makes it destined to fail?

It is clear that you haven't found your true love. You would not talk like this. Few things really worth while in life come easy. If you always take the easy path, can you expect the best view?? What are you willing to give up? With true love there is PASSON with lots and lots of chemistry. Your true love is also there to help you learn and grow as a person. Sometimes, that does take adversity. I always say that if you always get along with your spouse, you probably have the wrong one. We all make our choices in life. As for me, I could never choose anything other than true love.

I'm not saying that love is never a factor. I think that you need to love someone but I feel that money issues can cause more devastation to a marriage that love cannot fix and if families don't get along it can cause divides which can't be mended because anyone is going to put their family over another individual.
And the reason I bring up this topic is because in a Sociology class we looked at the reasons behind divorces and the biggest reasons where economic troubles or family members disagreeing with the relationship.

i think what makes someone get married is the connection they feel with the other person how they act how they handle stressful situations, there personality, comfort level i feel if you can do anything in front or with your other half then im sure that's the right one.. i would marry a girl that's really into what im into that way we wouldn't have any conflicts between each other which can case less problems and less problems is for the best but back to the question i think people marry for Love i know i would..
