Sure. They might conclude that there was more to it than just convenience.

Don't do it! Unless you really want that convenience. Don't pretend it is a 'real' marriage.
What I did in this circumstance was say to my husband, let's divorce afterwards and then get married if we really want to, properly, after that. But the sod wouldn't divorce, tried to cling onto the marriage, and it was a disaster.
Another girl I know who married to get someone a passport had to pay so much to get divorced, and it took her years to get rid of the fake marriage. She said it wasn't worth it in the end.
Emotionally, everyone I know who has done this says it's a disaster. The key is to make an agreement, to both say that it really is only for convenience. But it's difficult to define this legally - the lawyers can ignore that, or not believe you.

Personally no. One of the most important things there are in life is finding love, true love and to sell yourself short and be involved in a marriage of convenience is truly sad. To never feel that "elevator feeling" or passion or a true connection with someone special is just not acceptable to me. There are people who agree to arranged marriages and after time they do learn to love each other -- sometimes --- although not always in a passionate, romantic, head over heels kind of way. But in those cultures with arranged marriages usually there's more than one spouse that's allowed so ....

If both paries knew they were both in it for Convenience,.....then I guess Happiness would not be a concern.
However; if they feel "content" to do so,.....I guess they may be hapy with their arrangement, but have foregone the familiar traditions of a Happiness goaled and oriented marriage.
I myself would only be happy with such an arrangement if I and my companion decided that we are not emotionally or physically in our prime anymore, and yes,.....I would accept such an arrangement for companionship reasons and such alone. Yes, I could deal with that.

Well if you were best friends also. Because that's were it ends up anyways convenience and companionship....Love is those things...It's not sex and infactuation--It's not ciderella...
But if you mean you can't stand them and you stay togther for money kids etc...then that B/s and should end right away...because the kids will do the same in thier relationships too and like you never be happy

Happy! I guess it would depend on why it's so convenient.

I don't see why not as long as both parties know it would be more like friends living together

It depends on the circumstances of the marriage, and how it was set up from the beginning.
