RE: Alone Or With Somebody You Don't Love?
Thank you! I like your thinking that love itself should be the main reason to stay together but I also think getting into marriage shouldn't be a problem if they both love each other, but it's a problem when they get into it without loving each other.
It depends on what our views on love is though.
If we adopt the perspective that Love is like a plant that is cultivated over time then it wouldn't really matter whether both parties were 'in love' before marriage or not. I reckon the Indians have a better grasp of this concept as most of their marriages (at least from pop culture and random google searches lol) in times past were pre-arranged and didn't require parties involved to be 'in love' with each other.
BTW I'm a Nigerian so of course my citation of India is based on my limited knowledge...things may be different/similar more or less.
