Do you agree to the following statement?

Question

"Marriages that are usually good and lasting marriages are those that start at the least affection."

Answer 1

agreed.

my sister and her husband, mashallah, mashallah, i dont want to jinx them, but alhumdilillah they are so close now, and they didnt know each other b4 they got married.

cause my dads strict, and likes being in control, so finally when they got married, they became so close, mashallah.

you get to know them----->you grow into knowing each other------>then to respecting each other------->then liking each other---->to eventually loving each other.

Answer 2

yes i agree

Answer 3

not ture...

i know sisters who got married 4the sake of Allah tala

their no longer in that marrage...

Answer 4

maybe

Answer 5

not really..

Answer 6

  You know it just could be.

Answer 7

Sometimes its true. Sometimes its not. I have seen many muslim marriages that went either way and they started with little affection at the beginning. Who knows, I think it doesnt matter how it starts. The problem is how mutual and understanding are the two couple with each other, whether it starts with alot of love in the beginning or no love at all.   : (

Answer 8

its very true. if you start out too strong, itll lead to a burn out.

you need to play games and act almost disinterested to make yourself hard to get at first.  

Answer 9

Sorry, that is a lame justification for arranged marriages.  

The marriages that last are the ones that are not just built on love, but on friendship also.  You should be best friends.  My grandma told me that when my grandfather passed away.  They were married 53 years.  

Answer 10

Yes i do. If 2 people get married for the sake of Allah then He will put love in between the 2. And besides look at America- 50 percent of the marriages fail and they all began with dating and falling in love. Of course there has to be a mutual attraction though.

Answer 11

Thats just a justification for arranged marriages. I disagree

Answer 12

I do't think it can be whole false neither true all the time!

may be some cases turn out that way!

Answer 13

well it really depends on the couple. sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Answer 14

I do agree with the statement, but there are exceptions too.

Answer 15

i disagree

Answer 16

not really

Answer 17

I neither agree or disagree.

If things start out with lesser affection then maybe you are holding on to hope, hope for better times.

And if your marriage starts out strong, then when hard times fall, its more of a strain on the marriage, because you already know how strong you can be.

I hope this makes sense.  

Answer 18

Some cases yes...depends on the individuals really.

Answer 19

it can go either way honestly.  It depends on the people involved.  I do not think you can categorically predict in which direction any marriage will go.
