Should the basis of marital relation be love. If yes do people always do so?

That is really an individual choice and one bases their own decisions on such. No one can make this determination for another. However, personally, I would not want to be married to someone I do not love. Although, people do it every day, some marry for convenience, some for money for various reasons other than for love. God bless****

If there's no love in the relationship, then why would you get married? Unless it's an arranged marriage and you have no choice, then I would say don't get married to this person.
People marry for different reasons, love, money, loneliness. It doesn't necessarily means that it's right. True, most marriages end in divorce, but if you already know that you don't love this person, then it's pretty much ddomed from the beginning. Wait until you find the right man. It's not worth the headache.

NO, NO, NO!!!!!!! That is stupid. The basis SHOULD be love, DEEP, TRUE love. And NO people don't always do this, or you wouldn't be asking the question. The divorce rate is already about 50-60% when you marry for love (or what people THINK is love). If the marriage is NOT about love the divorce rate goes up to around 90%.

Love helps!! its like the Bonus on the test, you may know all the answers or all the practical things about marriage but if you are not in love then you will end up cheating and being unhappy. Marriage is an incredible situation when it works right! Just give yourslf the best chance to be happy forever

Love must be the basis of all relations. But people act out of a misguided lust for fortunes, and marry just for the wealth of it. It has been done almost throughout the entire human history, unfortunately.

It should be yes! But it doesn't always happen that way! But the thing is, that love CAN'T be the ONLY thing to get married for, but if it's not there at all, you are both in for a long and hard road. You might learn to love each other, but you might not.

In my opinion no and why would you want to? Why would you want to wake up next to someone the rest of your life that you do not love? Why would you want to share your inner being with a person you do not love? What would the reason be? If you are extremely elderly then fine for companionship as you more than not lost the true love of your life, short of this of course not. And if your looking to do so for financial security that is nothing more than being a prostitue

I think love should be the basis of any marraige along with friendship, communication and great sex..... but people don't always marry for love.. some people marry for money or some people get married because of an arranged marraige (alot of religons still practise this) and some people get married for the hell of it.....

many marry without love and find in each other love as they grow together, many that marry and feel they are in love find out that it was an error and just hormones and not love, many think love is control,money, ownership, others marry because it is the acceptable thing to do...I think people should truly question why they are getting married and most of all have respect for their partner

It never was about love. Biblical marriage was always some sort of material possesion. White men had written the Bible to fit their perrogatives and it worked until the information age encouraged equality. If a modern marriage is to work, it needs love, but humans are based on instinct and can't adhere to outside convictions. Marriage is dumb.
