many are considering the possibility now looking at how popular pre-nuptial agreements are.

such a show of lack of trust in one's partner of choice...
that is also a very sad situation, isn't it..? :(

i'd rather stay single than married for all the wrong reasons...

So, what are the right reasons? What is right today, can be wrong tomorrow..:unsure: ??

i certainly hope that what i perceive as right won't be wrong the next day...
and everyone has different idea of what's wrong and what's right too...

for me, personally, marrying for the wrong reasons include...
- marrying someone that you don't love
- marrying someone for monetary reason
- marrying someone for visa purposes
- marrying someone who you know is toxic for your sanity
- marrying someone who doesn't believe you both can make it work
- marrying someone due to imminent arrival that both regret

am i too idealistic? perhaps... maybe i live in rose-tinted world...
but i still like to be optimistic that marriage would be within the confine of love, respect, trust and desire...

How about a pre-arranged marriage and non of the above mentioned exist?

[LiLiaN]

How about a pre-arranged marriage and non of the above mentioned exist?for someone with a strong independent streak like me, i don't think pre-arranged marriage will work...
my heart will not be in it, it's not someone of my choice...
and if i can't play my part in that relationship as it should, then it doesn't bode well at all...
but for anyone who can and who determine to make it work, no reason why not...
i just don't think it's something for me...

What if the guy is the one you liked during your childhood, would you say YES?

[LiLiaN]

What if the guy is the one you liked during your childhood, would you say YES?people change over time and i have change over time myself...
someone of childhood crush could well end up being the biggest jerk around (or otherwise) right now...
i may be optimistic about love but at the same time i am also a very practical person...
i will not get myself into something without consideration first...

lets say u as a woman knows ur role as a wife, and the guy knows his role as a husband. then one fine day, he is arranged to marry u. and so u marry....question is, will both of u become hapi couples? if u do, does it matter whether it was an arranged marriage or not? love and trust can be...grown.

[LiLiaN]

i supposed that depends if you're committing yourself to it or not...
but if you're only half-hearted about this arranged marriage...
well yes, you could still be somewhat happy, but does it meet your needs...?
to feel only some luke-warm happiness that makes you smile instead of the amazing happiness that makes your eyes sparkle...?
i don't want someone half hearted, and i don't want a half hearted relationship...

anyway, back to the core of your question...
if you're happy following the arranged marriage, then it doesn't matter if it's arranged or not...
but that'll work on the basis that you'll commit totally to it...

this is just my opinion of course (polyanna world view and all)...
and by the way, why do i feel like i'm being grilled..? :confused:
