Does marriage destroy love?

It does in the sense of destroying the immature, honeymoon feelings that accompany dating and being newly married. Marriage forces you to face the reality of who this person really is and you either choose to become more mature and learn to sacrifice, accept that it's not always going to be a bed of roses or you choose to be selfish, self centered and close yourself off to the other person. True love is a commitment, something you chose to do. So in a nutshell. Marriage does not destroy true love but it is a test of true love. Someone who doesn't truly love you will at some point before death - deny you, stab you in the back and leave you because you didn't fulfill their wishes and selfish desires. Someone who truly loves you will learn to overlook faults, become more patient, be long suffering and give. When two people truly love each other marriage tests their love and makes it deepen, grow and become more mature exciting and fulfilling. Marriage will bust apart any relationship that is less than this.

Unfortunately, sometimes YES, though it should be NO.
ppl fall in love with someone for various reasons. and how many of them are truly love each other?
Love happened not for the true inner sense but for some other physical and temporary thing like beauty, money etc will destroy aft they destroy.
and the marriage is an especial scenario. the first year it is a heaven because of the lust and passion and so on so on... but eventually you'll see the true face of each other and begins the feeling of the partner has been change etc. The true lovers will understand this, accept this and change accordingly but others will separate.
If all the lovers are true lovers why the divorce rate is getting high gradually????
its not the marriage but the ability to understanding is the key point!
Hope my explanation will help you!
take care!

no people destroy love not the act of marriage when people go in to it with rose tinted glasses not for the right reasons or with romantic notions of happily ever after then that destroys the love that brought you to marriage. marriage is hard work in the sense that it takes effort, forgiveness, fun , understanding, friendship, growth, but it is not all ways candle light dinners, sex every day, body's staying the same, kid free, money to spend how you want! people sometimes think marriage will make immature people grow up, will make trust or love grow, will make the unfaithful faithful or will change someone and it wont so its easy to love someone its another to marry them and stay that way with all life's changes and ups and downs so no marriage never destroys love people do

Love is the act of putting someone else before yourself. Marriage is a constant opportunity to love that you don't encounter anywhere else, and if both people are putting each other before themselves, it is beautiful. If you define love as a feeling, then I imagine that anything that would threaten to require action even when your feelings don't follow suit would destroy that. Good thing love is much more than that.

Definitely not but remember as Love and Marriage come easily together so does giving and sharing so if a couple is willing to do that they should have a great marriage.

Love marriage. We met while i replaced into sixteen, he replaced into 19. He replaced into my 1st love! We dated for an prolonged time, he moved, we lost touch. the two at last married somebody else, then ran into eachother back as quickly as we the two got here approximately to be dealing with divorce on the comparable time! We have been given married, have 4 beautiful infants at the same time plus my 2 from my previous marriage, and lived thankfully ever after!

If u love one another, it shouldn't destroy love, it should only make it stronger. Marriage is a connection or a bond with the love you two share with each other.

No I dont think so. I have been in love with my fiance for 5 years now and we are getting married soon. I can't see anything ever going wrong. I think the marriage will make our love for one another even stronger.

marriage is a continuation and enhancement of love. cos when u love someone so much, u want to spend time with them so u get married.
that is when u really know each other, ur bad habits etc. that is when u find true love cos u decide to love that person inspite of their habits.
so marriage is like a deciding factor. if ur love was genuine, marriage strengthens it. if it was just fickle, then marriage destroys it.

No. Whether you get married or not, love is an action and something that you'll always have to work at. Hopefully marriage is an expression of your love.
