I think it is possible but it takes two people that really care about one another. I think a friendship can grow and sooner or later that caring will turn into love. Its kinda like when 2 people marry and they are married for 50 yrs. They will tell you they love each other more than when they did when they first married and they didn't think that was possible. Good luck I hope it happens for the person wanting to be in love. . .

It's possible, yes. But not very likely. It's like being struck by lightning. It does happen but it's very rare. I answer from personal experience. 3 relationships where the lady loved me and I stayed in the relationship hoping that my heart would come around to a woman that my brain knew was a good find, but I never fell in love. For me it's either there from close to the beginning or it never will be.
Hope I helped.

Well I have heard that arranged marriages are generally more successful than other's. I've met a few elderly couples (I'm a nurse) who had arranged marriages and swear that they have lived long and fulfilling lives together and love each other dearly. I think as long as you aren't completely revolted by the person, you could come to love them in time.

we live in a self-based shopper custom, and for this reason the actual foundations of a marriage are no longer understood anymore. people are bought on the thought Love is a feeling, and a hurry.. actual love is a call and a dedication. egocentric divorce is a pandemic. each marriage is going by highs and lows, and the highs can be particularly, very severe, and the lows can be particularly, very low. all and sundry is going by highs and lows of their very own lives - a shared existence is not any differant. people don't understand this, and so whilst the lows come, they bail out foolishly, leaving a wake of soreness and injury in the back of them. All interior the call of their "happiness"

Definitely possible. But it would have to be an arranged marriage because i dont see why you'd marry someone you didnt love in the 1st place...

It's happening all the time! Goes to make that 'long and happy married life'! (about 43% of marriages the world over!)

Yes, I've had many co-workers from India tell me that's how it works. They grow to love one another over time.
They're also paired by astrology, so they have greater odds of getting along.
I think that not expecting emotional fireworks makes the relationship more stable. No disappointment!

There are a lot of arranged marriages that still take place in today's society. I think that if people make up their mind to make something work, and everyone is respectful, I think it sure is possible.

Yes, you marry at first because you love eachother, of course, and then as the years go on your love for eachother just continues to grow, as you are growing together, and loving eachother, and learning about eachother, and your marriage.
And as you cross those bridges that life brings you as you are married!

Why not? In time people grow to trust each other, and that is a very good basis for love
