    Taking a break from PA's favorite topic, sex and virginity :p, I'm back to sentimental questions, inspired by the "can love really last a lifetime?" topic. :)

    Okay, so let's suppose there's a person you love so much you're willing to die for him/her, but on occassion, you two get into arguments and have conflicting views/values about life. Yet, there's an irresistible attraction between the two of you - that person loves you, and you love him/her.

    Then there's another person, who you care for, but aren't.....well....in love with. That person is a friendly companion, cares for you, and because of a similar upbringing, you two have similar values. Adding to that, your parents have a very good opinion about him/her.

    This really brings up the issue of marriage - in the end, is marriage truly the romantic ending media likes us to believe it is, or is it more of a mutual commitment and just a civil union?

    Finally, who would you choose to marry, or would you not marry at all?

    Yes, you can marry a person because
    - you love her money or her parents' money
    - you love her as a friend
    - you love her as being a good wife and mother to your kids
    - you love having sex with her

    lol yes, but I am saying that if given the choice between your lover and an "ideal" husband/wife, which would you choose?

    I would marry the ideal partner as opposed to the one I have a temporary infatuation for.

    OR, pick the one with the most money and greatest financial circumstances.

    My Mom told me to pick a girl that loves me more than I love her. She said that's because she'll stay with you forever. LOL....my Mom is strange.

    Why do you have to choose? Whoever you marry should be someone who loves you, whom you love, and someone who you can share a life with. Even people who share your view of things will not always agree with you.
