Marriage of convenience 07-08-2007 12:22 к комментариям - к полной версии - понравилось!


What do you think of marriage of convenience? Could you marry to a person you don't love for money or social status, or just because of your age (when you suppose it to be your last chance)?
These are some words from a text about marriage of convenience:
"The fact is that in a marriage of convenience you expect less and so you are less likely to be disappointed. Passion is all very well, but it it not a proper foundation for marriage. For two people to be happy in marriage they must be able to respect one another, and their interests must be alike; then if they are decent people and are willing to give and take, to live and let live, there is no reason why their union should not be happy."

dolganov, absolutely agree? You'd like to have such marriage?

And what about these words: "Sometimes love comes after marriage and not before, and the it is better. It lasts longer." What if it doesn't come?

can these quotation be from the short story "Marriage of convenience"? As for the topic, I don't imagine myself in this situation. I'd better I-don't-know-what, e.g. be alone all my life or just have a lover, whatever, but won't marry a man I don't love or even like just for money. But if other people can do this, let it be.

Kim_Berly, yes, it's from there) And what about not for money but because of some agreement, or may be, business agreement, I don't know...

For money - never. Without passion - yep, passion burns you out and leaves you in ashes - not sufficient for a family.

Jelllyjam, :) in this case these "spouses" shouldn't or even mustn't bother each other and stay in each other's way. Live and let live.
