Should being/falling in love be the only reason to be in a relationship or get married?

Should that be the only reason to be in a relationship or get married, just because you're in love?

Or should there be other reasons? At the some, things are NOT just all about just on feelings and passion.

I don't see anything wrong with people who only meet up for sex every once in a while. Basic needs met without the messy bits for those who want simplicity in their lives. It's a form of relationship that does not require love.

It should bed be on the top 3 list of WHY you’re marrying a person!!!

[Asker]

Though it wouldn't be the only factor. What if you get married just because you're in love ("oh the moon and the stars" feelings), only to find out once the initial fireworks fade, you guys have absolutely nothing in common, you realized you don't really know them well, they got flaws and there are arguments? Love isn't enough obviously, much less if it's not even love for infatuation aka falling in love.

Many people will tell you not to get married based on their negative experiences that they didn't heal from. If the both of you are strong enough to fight for it when it gets rough

Then the answer is yes.

[legalboxers]

isn't this the case to be married or in a relationship

[Asker]

Nope. Just that isn't enough. What if you're in love, only to find out you guys have no common goals at all?

[AI Opinion]

Diving into the ocean of love without a life jacket can be thrilling, but let’s not forget that a strong relationship or marriage needs more than just the waves of passion to keep you afloat. Falling in love is like the spark that ignites the fire, but for that fire to keep burning brightly, you need a few more logs. Compatibility, mutual respect, shared goals, and a pinch (or bucket) of understanding are crucial ingredients for a long-lasting relationship. Love is the heartbeat of a relationship, but these other aspects are the veins that keep the blood flowing. So, while falling in love is a beautiful start, making sure you're on the same page and paddling in the same direction is what keeps your boat sailing smoothly. Let's mix those metaphors and say: Love is necessary, but not sufficient on its own. Keep the love alive, but don't forget to fortify it with a healthy dose of reality and shared dreams. 😉

What is with all these strained metaphors? For the love of fuck can't whoever programs these AI responses make them sound more natural?

[Billlewis]

I'd say that's probably true to some extent, but for me personally, the only purpose of any relationship I'm involved in is to please the female.

[sheikalana]

Nope. Love is necessary but love alone is not enough to keep a relationship.

If you're just simply in love then there's no reason to wed

[Asker]

Exactly. Just getting married base on feeling is foolish.

[sage2021]

Some people get married for tax purposes 🤭

[Asker]

Honestly I find that a way better than love/feelings. At least there is a benefit vs there is no benefits coming from falling in love. Feelings aren't going to feed you nor provide shelter to you.

[sheenagwapa]

that should be the primary reason

[Asker]

But emotions come and go. Falling in love is really infatuation, mainly pure attraction and the initial fireworks. Too many people only stay in relationship or married just base on ''falling in love'', feeling; a relationhips just base on feelings isn't good enough.
What if you guys really have no common goals and once the ''falling in love'' stage fades, it's not the person you wanted?

[laly520]

nope
marriage is more than just being in love

[SotiCoto]

No. Hell no. It isn't even a prerequisite.

[DreamLife7]

At 30-35 ur a bit old to be asking this

[In_Trance]

I can't think of any good reason to get married

[jahaims]

Definitely not

[Asker]

Exactly. The fools that are in a relationship or got married just because they're madly in love!
I can't wait to see what happens when the initial fireworks fade (after all, that's not forever) and they find out they got nothing in common and the person isn't perfect as they originally fantasized but full of flaws.
