My Ideas On Love and Marriage

It is a human emotion that changes how people act alone and with other people. Someone can love a pet, another person or a family member. Usually when someone gets married they would have to have known that person for a while and it would have to be someone that they are friends with. For someone to truly love someone they have to truly know them. Some people believe in love in first sight I don't believe in that what it is, is when two people see each other once and are attracted to each other most of those people would "be in love" for a few weeks and then just be "friends" or never see each other again. Maybe about 1-5% percent of those people would end up getting married and then about half of those who are married would end up getting a divorce. The longer someone is married to someone else the less likely it would be that they get divorced because they know how to talk things out instead of just ending it and going back to what they were like before not being with someone else. I believe in the idea of marriage but only with the correct person because so many people are just marrying the first time they see each other then they realize that they don't like the person and get divorced. Someone should marry if they truly love and have loved the person for a long time and if they know all about the other person. Love has to be earned not bought and getting married is earned depending on what you do with your love. True love and marriage is done without expecting anything in return.
