Marrying for love is silly. IMHO no one knows what REAL LOVE is until they have had the good fortune to become old and grey together and have managed to still LIKE one another throughout the process.

Who are we to judge?

People who are dirt poor marry every day and still divorce when they are dirt poor.

People who have money marry every day and still divorce whether they remain well-off or not.

People who marry when they were dirt poor still divorce when they become well-off.

Truth is people marry for the wrong reasons day in and day out. Money/looks are but a tiny fraction of those "wrong reasons".

... just my .02

actually sir paul might own the most expensive like 1 billion but jordan's is up there

wow. what do you think good reasons to marry are?

How could one get "married for love" when by definition they don't even know what love is? IMHO you found out what REAL LOVE IS along the way.

LIKE is far more important.

and

RESPECT another biggie.

It's really not that complicated. Everything else will stem from these two characteristics.

"by defintion" is your arbitrary defintion of love that almost nobody agrees with.

That's cool...

But I find it interesting that younger, less experienced people have the most issue with it.

There are 3 types of love: (which are not MY definitions)

!. Eros

2. Phyllos

3. Agape

First is sexual love between man and woman (or same sex if one is gay). = HORMONES and not too much more for without hormones none of us would give a damn about our genitalia (or the genitalia of another adult) other than to urinate.

Second is nonsexual love as in brotherly/sisterly/child/friend, etc.

Third (which is highest form of love) is love of mankind.

SEX DOES NOT KEEP A MARRIAGE TOGETHER so IMHO "my definition" ain't too far from the mark now, is it?

"your definition" had nothing to do with those. none of them describe having to grow old with someone to be realized

Actually you are incorrect for it is only with the passage of time that one gets passed the hormones of sex and learns what REAL LOVE is.

For some this may be 10 years, for others more, still others may not have the luxury of their entire lives together as death parts them too soon.

The analogy of "old and grey" is one that most understand to be a "very long time" which USUALLY means that as an individual or couple you've pretty much seen it all... that's all. nothing more and nothing less.

If you marry in your 20's and are still happy in your 30's does that mean you don't know what REAL LOVE is? Not necessarily. You may know better than most, however, you are both still young enough in your lives that life might still bring you tests that what you have learned may just not be enough for you to remain together HAPPILY as a couple. Just because a marriage is intact (as in not divorced) doesn't mean that it is happy.

Do you see what I am trying to say?

how do you know what real love is if you aren't even there yet. and please don't go back to that greek definition, because none of those three describe what you are talking about

No... love will NOT perserve my marriage.

LIKE and RESPECT will. My husband and I have plenty of both, however, we have an extremelly difficult road ahead of us one that all the EROS in the world will not protect. If we make it through the next 10 years and we still LIKE and RESPECT one another in the process, then I will be able to tell you a bit better what "REAL LOVE" is... till then the best I can offer you is LIKE and RESPECT.

... sorry to disappoint.

Why do you say that?

Did I say that I got married for "real love" or was I ever a proponent of marrying for "real love"? As a matter of fact I am saying THE TOTAL OPPOSITE. Now that I think about it, IMHO it is actually counterproductive to committ or even look for a relationship based on "trying to find REAL LOVE" as from my vantage point that is impossible anyway.

I believe that one would be better served to look for LIKE and RESPECT as the hormones will do what they want to do regardless in many situations. The definitions of "like and respect" will vary with each individual. You may not like or respect the same characteristics in a perspective mate that I do and vice versa but that doesn't make either of our definitions less valid in our reality. Does it? Hell, you may not even like or respect the same charateristics in a mate in your 20's that you do in your 30's, etc. Goodness knows that your hormones will change! LOL

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thought-provoking exchange though. Matter of fact, I am just about to go over and edit the rough draft of a book I have completed about dating and relationships and I believe that this topic merits its own chapter. THANKS NIMBUS!!!
