I will only speak for myself!* I married to get away from an extremely abusive situation!
I went from one living hell right into another equally degrading lifestyle*

Many people marry for stability. I know I did. I loved my husband - but he was NOT the love of my life. The man that I loved the most was not, at that time, stable or reliable at all. I just couldn't trust that he would always be there for me. So I sent him away and married someone who was stable, who I did love but not as much. We've had quite a marriage - and throughout all the battles we've had, he still insists that he'll never leave me - nor will I ever be allowed to think of possibly leaving him. Sometimes stability turns out to be more than you bargained for. Go for the love!

yes but it never lasts.

Stability definitely plays into the whole equation, especially for people who have been through some hard knocks.

people marry for many many reasons, love and stability are only two of the many options.

If you marry for stability you will end up divorced-I know I did.

For me I wanted children and he fit the bill. Nice guy, responsible, knew he would be good father material, same religion, knew he would make my entire family proud. As far as love we both didn't marry for that. I'm just more honest than my husband.

It depends. I'm sure there is love there, but sometimes picking the guy you like/love with the job is better than picking the guy you like/love that's jobless and doesn't seem like he's going anywhere job/money wise. Same goes for girls of course, pending on who you want to provide the main source of income.
