Are marriages today based on Love?

Posted By: Rae Banton on October 08, 2007


With the divorce rate being so high, do we really fall "in love" or is it based on status, money, infactuation, lust or We get along so We/I can build love from this?

I really don't think 80% of marriages are In Love.

Rae, you pose an interesting question. I believe that most black people get married because they are in love or at least think they are in love. However, a lot of us get married for convience. Whether for love, convience, money or whatever, being married is hard. Being in love can help sustain a troubled marriage, but sometimes it is not enough. That is why the divorce rate is so high.
