I watched Brick Lane this weekend (I’ve never read the book

http://club.itdrom.com/images/forum/smiles/EmbarrassedSmiley.gif

) and at the risk of spoiling the book for others, one of the themes of the movie was the wife coming to a realization almost 20 years after she was married to her husband (who was much older, not attractive, and with whom she had little to nothing in common), that she respected him and did in fact love him.

So my question for those in an arranged relationship, was love an epiphany for some of you, or was it a gradual realization that this other person mattered to you and that you loved him/her?

she loved him but she was not IN love with him.
she loved him like she would love her father.
