of course we do get married bcoz we love our partner so much but for how long. So sad coz some end up getting divorce. Some are not that strong that even a small problem, arguments, miscommunication and they just ended for a divorce.

Love,of course is not sufficient in case of marriage.There are so many other responsibilities to carry out. To sustain marriage and carry it out properly there should a steady income.I believe stress is the biggest thorn in marriage,be it work or at home.Marriage is not a bed of roses,very much like life.One should work hard to keep it going.I am not saying that love is not required.It is the primary binding catalyst in marriage,but then there is money,kids and various other things important and trivial in marriage.Everything never works out perfectly and marriage is also not perfect usually.The most important thing in marriage is how the spouses respect each other and communiciate.That I believe is very important.

I am not married yet,and sometimes my friends bad marriage keeps haunting me and makes me feel a little bit traumatic..I think love is still impotant but the most important thing is affection,attention and commitment..love will soon fade away, but affection won`t.love functions as remider why we marry him or her..hope my marriage will be a happy marriage..God bless us always

In a marriage, they will be arguments and disagreement. But then marriage is about give and take and if you love each other you will be able to reach a compromise.

I am not married myself. Love is a good ingredient to make a marriage happy but it is not the only important thing. There should be understanding, respect, loyalty and communication. Both have to be committed to making it work.

Love is an essential ingredient, there is no doubt about it. Let us get practical here, Love does not feed people. Money does. So material issues also play a part. Love does not mean taking the partner for granted. Mutual respect and space is necessary. All of these and commitment to keep the relation alive and happening will ensure a happy marriage.

very sad to hear the word divorce. love is not guarantee happiness, love can fade with time.
