Re: Is a 'loveless marriage' worth its while?
A general question:
Marriages may be made in heaven, but their fate is decided right here. Is a loveless marriage worth its while or is divorce the better way out?
Discuss
It depends - I have seen a few loveless marriages from my parents' generation, yet the couple stayed together because there was no way out (divorce was not socially accepted). The husband and wife created their own separate lives, yet continued to live under the same roof. They just learnt to adjust. I don't think a lot of people from our generation today would make their peace with such a marriage. love and trust are the pillars of a marriage - if they break down, not much remains. It is better to part ways and give yourself a chance to be happy than stay together and be bitter all your life.

I think the stigma of a divorce is more serious/heavy for a woman than for a man.
Sorry if that sounds sexist.
^It is treated as a stigma by our society. But if a woman....who was in a dysfunctional beyond repair marriage.....has the means to provide a better life for herself and kids.............she becomes a positive example for society.....that can make people realize that she is not doomed if gets a divorced, that life doesn't end for her, that live an actually be much much better. She can help challenge society's view of divorce being a "stigma" and open the minds of some people.

Re: Is a 'loveless marriage' worth its while?
It depends on the situation.. However, I do agree with what some of the above have said, most arranged marriages begin with a "loveless" relationship, however in most cases, love happens eventually. I know some of you may disagree but I also think that if two people are genuine and honest, then love is inevitable, regardless of all the retarded qualities either of them may have. It's human nature to be attached to someone, to love and to care. However, if someone is unwilling to try, is stubborn and negligent of the other, they will never allow for love to happen.
Another thing I've noticed, here in the West there has been a disturbing rise in the incidence of divorce cases amongst newly married couples, especially Pakistani couples. I think this is due to the amount of "choice" we have. We are exposed to Western ideals, which aren't necessarily bad for us, but don't exactly comply with our Pakistani ideals of how a marriage should be and the particular dynamic that a man and a woman have in the ideal marriage. Most kids are educated in the West, growing up with a sense of independence. I think this makes it a little difficult for us when we're married, and all of a sudden our partner disagrees with what we do or say. I know two couples already that just packed their bags and left, because they just couldn't come to an agreement :S I find it strange to leave a marriage because you couldn't agree, and I'm not gonna lie, it sounds more stubborn to me than anything else. If you talk it out and if both people are genuine without any "ego" and willing to compromise, then love will happen, it's impossible for it not to. Compromise is KEY. Even beauty fell in love with the beast ;)

btw, my response above only applies to couples that are genuine and honest with each other. I'm not referring to abusive or psychologically disturbed relationships
