Is it possible to get married to someone you have no feelings for but fall in love later? (Page 2)

Anonymous · 2022-10-26T18:00:41Z

Most people living in western counties would say hell no to this (for the most part me included). But in other parts of the world there are arranged marriages where love is supposed to come later. Even back in 1800s and earlier people would often get married through community arrangements. One family knew another and the parents thought that their sons and daughters would make a good match. Even the ancient Spartans had this weird marriage ritual where they put young men and women together in a dark cave. Whoever opposite gender you grabbed first and walked out with into the light would become your spouse. I have to wonder how often people ended up with someone they weren’t attracted to. However divorces were way less common many years ago. If so many people were really that miserable with their arranged marriage you would have to think there would be some serious mental health issues and more violence back then. But at least historically this wasn’t the case.

If I have fallen in love with my hand, why wouldn’t fall in love with a human!

  Jordan Peterson may be right theoretically. But the problem is Americans are too immature and stubborn. They WON'T grow up, no matter what!
  "But you're going to lose your husband/wife!"
  "I don't care."
