which one do u prefer: to love somebody and marry him or to marry somebody than love him? loving someone than marrying him is not a guarantee to get a happy marriage. may be one day in your marriage u found him doesn't look like someone that u've been recognized. marrying someone than loving him is not a guarantee to get a broken marriage. may be one day in your marriage he did something that made u fall in love with him if u were me, which one do you prefer?

well...its not like love before marriage r after marriage...the bottom line of every relationship is love... love is somethng between two that a person whom u love should whom u cant live without...so its ur own individual choice that u love and marry or marry and then love... But i can suggest u love before marriage is better coz a known devil is always better than an unknown evil...

Love is not a guarantee that a marriage will last. But love is an important element to make one last. I'm not the marrying type. But between the choices you gave I would rather marry someone I love.

I believe, both things work differently and accordingly. Marriage is a decision and a lifetime commitment of course, but as what I've learned 50% of the marriage couples fail to bring out their marriages into a successful one. There are plenty of factors that have resulted these broken marriages. For me, I would rather marry the person that I love rather than to gamble myself into someone which I hardly know. In the first place, why would I marry someone whom I don't love? Unless there is an arrangement or an arrange marriage for that matter. But even so, i would still not jive into a decision of marrying my not-type of guy. There's a great possibility that arrange marriage won't work because it started not right. But again, as what I've said both things may work differently. Will just hope for the best and work very hard to make it successful.

it takes a man & a woman to be married but it takes GOD to have a marriage. so, whether it's love b4 marriage or vice versa if we have God in the centre of our marriage, its definitely going to be a blissful one :-)

i definitely would want to marry someone whom i love coz i dont want to end up regretting if i married someone whom i dont love. marriage is something sacred and i think it is just right to have this vow with someone you love. imagine spending the rest of your life with someone you dont love and dont know, it is like spending your whole life in prison. you marry because you want to spend the rest of your life with the one you love and want to grow old with. you dont marry just because you are told to or it is in your tradition even if you dont love the person you are going to exchange vows with. in fact, before you marry someone, you have to know him/her first and accept everything about him/her even his/he faults. that is why, even if you find something unpleasant to you after you get married, you will have to learn to deal with it coz in the first place, you are already ready for any surprises that await you on your years together...and because you love your partner, you will learn to accept it...

I would definitely prefer to marry someone that i love. And if we were both inlove, and this would be the happies day of our lives and for the coming days that will come. But in the long run, we fall out of love, then we just have to deal with that. You can't predict what will happen in your life. All you have is right now, and if right now you are inlove and getting married, then enjoy it. And if in years to come the marriage will fall apart, then you have to cross that bridege and move on with your life.

I wouldn't marry someone I didn't love. I don't really believe in marriage anyway, it's a man-made institution. The important thing is whether you love each other enough to want to be together, a piece of paper is neither here nor there. Society may make marriage preferable, but it doesn't make a toss of difference to the relationship in terms of feelings. It's the day-to-day living together that does that. If someone needs that piece of paper to feel committed, they're in the wrong relationship.

For me both, love then marry coz if you have a boyfriend and your relationship comes that years count you will say you can marry him because you already know him then marrysomebody before loving, as what I've heard they easily love the guy coz love grows as time pass by. I should say LOVE conquers all!

Either I just don't want him to use the love I'm giving away.

I would definitely marry someone because I love him and not because he is someone that I might love eventually. For me, marriage is not something that you just do at a whim. When a couple decides to get married, they should get to know their soon to be partners very well for a certain period of time because it is a lifetime commitment that you cannot just throw away when you're suddenly not happy about it.

it's a stupid thing to marry someone and think that on time you would love him..when years pass you will probably stay and thinking how your life has ruined because you made a stupid mistake and the one that you believed that you loved is acting really silly with you...and you sacrificed by marying with him without loving him...shame..don't do this mistake

I would never marry someone I do not love. For me, marrying without love is like disrespecting the sacrament of marriage. And besides, whether you marry someone you love or do not love, there is no assurance that your marriage will last. So why not choose the one you love? It is easier to make a marriage work when there is love.

I think if you marry someone then love them, you have a greater chance of relationship survival because you've really been through a process together. You've come into each other in a great way, and your bond will be a lot stronger.

love then marriage. But i would only marry them if i new the relationship had a strong chance of surviving. I would have to be with someone could could compramise, trust me, and me open and honest; like i would do in return. Otherwise, no matter how much you love them, it will most likely lead to tears.

If there is love, marriage will be easier. If you have a less than liberal mindset, you will also find it hard to get intimate with someone you barely or do not know. So definitely, it is better to love then marry, rather than the other way wrong. That is not to say though that e.g. arranged marriages are definitely not successful. They have worked very well for many cases in the past and they are still taking place in places like India.

Personally I prefer a Love marriage, to love somebody and marry him (or sorry for me its her heheha he). But Before it you should know everything about him or her. You should give a time to know him or her. Arrange Marriages are only a Boring Life. There are many arrange marriage couples, waiting for a love to be generated and one day they both get die after 60, and found that there is no love between them.
