I don't know if anyone would admit it, but I would like answers from people who've actually done that. I'm just curious about whether these types of marriages can work.

My first marriage I got married because I was pregnant. We never got along and finally divorced. My second marriage happened the same way. But it has lasted for 16 years so far.I am stillhaving regrets about marriage. Not my children though.My first husband knew but not my second. I keep alot of things in my marriage to myself to keep from hurting him.

Sweet Rese I have to admit that I married my ex for reasons other than love. What these reasons were included not thinking with my proper head. The fact that she was messed up on presciption drugs and I believed that I could be a savour and help her overcome this problem. But sad reality is that without love in this relationship it lasted for less for 5 years. Although I tried to make it work in reality it was doomed from the very get go. So after she freaked out on my son, who I had custody of from a previous relationship, that was the end and we moved out that day. Sadly this woman ended up taking her own life within 3 years from an overdose. Do I regret doing it, although I would like to say that I do regret it I really do not. I tried to help another human put her life back on track, she just didn't want to do the same. Do I believe that marriages without love can last, most definately. But they are very hard and the people have to learn how to love one and other after exchanging their vows or their relationship will be doomed also.

Being in love is what gets you married, but it is not what sustains the marriage. Luckily at the age of 20 when I married my husband I understood that. I married him also because he was good at fixing things and he made me laugh. 15 years later we are still having a good time together. Never marry someone just for love. That just doesn't make sense.

My husband has an ex-wife, he married her because they got pregnant unexpectedly. He thought he would do the right thing by marrying her. Ultimately, the marriage ended in divorce 9 months after the baby was born. In the military, I hear a lot of people getting married because they got pregnant.

I think I married in fear of being alone. I do find my husband attractive and he does have a very caring heart but in all honesty I have never felt for him like I've felt with some guys when you crush on someone. Over the years I've learned to care quite an awful lot. I am guilty of bashing him to my friends sometimes but after this weekend I will never bash him again. I screwed some financing up which will take a few years to get under control thanks to me and he handled it so well that I promised myself I will never talk bad about him to others again.

My husband and I did NOT marry for love. We married for compatibility reasons. This is very common in both of our families. We (like many of our other family members) fell in love after we got married. It has been 7 years now and we have no regrets.

I have had friends that did but I should tell you that they are not married anymore. Love is the only reason any two should get married simply because love is the only thing that gets you past those first five years. Trust me if I didn't love my husband I would have killed him somwhere between 1998-2003.

The people who marry for any reason but love have already been loves and it didn't work out. Then they go for such things as money and security.

LOVE is why you get married! Any other reason is probably illegal....
