      If you marry a soulmate or Twinflame the love never fades, if you marry out of codependence which this story represents & id guess 99% of marriages then you will never experience love only codependence

    A marriage is a partnership, a friendship focused on caring for the other person, usually that will entail sex, but not always and if it makes both people in the relationship happy it’s beautiful.

      Definitely! My cousin at age 27 married his girlfriend 25 but because they had sex before marriage and she got pregnant, but.....even with a coupla years going steady, it seems they really didn't know each other well, because like a brat she after 2 years trying to keep house, care for their baby boy and finish her law degree, she called it quits, asked for a divorce, he complied, 2 years later she asked my cousin if they could remarry?!! I'm not fit to judge but it seems both were immature and a bit narcissistic.

      @M Ponkhi once you find the guy for you, he will become your bf. When you're young, your best friend will be the same sex as you. That's normal. But once you meet the guy you will marry, he becomes your bff. You can still have your woman bf, but it's not the same as your spouse bff. If he isn't your best friend, don't marry him. I've been married to my bff for 22 years. :-) Oh and my best friend from childhood, my o.g.bff (lol) is still my friend too, but my husband takes precedence over my friend because he is both best friend and husband. He comes first as I do for him as well.

      Virg o they do what they want. They chose to stay committed to each other and realize that love and marriage is deeper than sexuality. You have two people who probably could have chose to be with same sex partners that checked every box so to speak and they could have still been unhappy because they weren’t with each other. Sometimes it happens like that. Just two people who love each other despite labels. Love only knows love.

      Eni Anggraini Yes, I was a gay man, when I met my wife, and she was my friend who was a girl. She got pregnant by a guy. It didn’t work out and she moved in with me temporarily, I learned to love her and guessed I was bi, and we got married. Turns out I wasn’t really bi. Years later I found out I was really a transgender woman. We’ve been together 31 happy, sexless years. Now we are both battling autoimmune disease.

      Parents prepare a dowry for their daughters and basically sell their girls to the man who they approve of. She is expected to love her husband, even of she has never seen his face.
      She must be with her husband and have sex according to his own desires, even if she ends up giving birth to 40 kids. If he divorces her, she has no say. Depending on the time period, if he abuses her, she still has no say.
      There! Traditional marriage.
      Marriage is a transaction dear. Always has been, always will be. There is benefit to being with a partner, and people decide to marry depending on what those benefits are.

    What I've noticed about successful marriages is that there is a priority in respect and patience over love. Romance and sex are important elements in marriage but it can't thrive on these things alone. I've seen couples who have had wild romances but get divorced after a few years because they cant cooperate during hard times or just get bored once the thrill of romance is over.

      Relationship build on sex only is called friends with benefits or sex buddies not married couple. People who base their relationship on sex only will make it last a about a year and then these people want a divorce because they got bored or sex isn't as good. Even something as intimate is without any feeling.

I was told it’s because he gets scared so he overcompensates to prove he’s a strong male. Poop on that!

    This touched me in a really special way. I've been in love with my gay boy friend for years (I'm a lesbian). I've always wanted to marry him and spend my time just being happy in each others company. I often like to think about marrying him if we lived in a time where it was dangerous to be out of the closet and by being married no one would suspect a thing. I'm only 15 so the chances of us ever getting married are low but that doesn't change the fact I've loved him in a way that I've never loved anyone else before.

      I was watching a documentary about intersex. The approach was to carry out surgery to 'normalise' the appearance of the baby. The default was female. They would tell the mother to reinforce the gender, but not to tell the child. The GP would know. Paternalistic medicine.

      Back in the day doctors would conduct the surgery immediately after birth without the parent's knowledge but this was semi-rare. As someone else stated, it became standard that most parents knew before the surgery and were advised to keep hush hush about it because of very outdated ideas around what it means to be intersex and what gender/sex is. There's a lot of intersex activists who are fighting to get the immediate surgery banned because it requires so many follow up surgeries and invasive exams throughout the kid's entire childhood. The goals for the surgery are more concerned with aesthetic than the well being and can lead to extensive nerve damage in some cases. The infamous goal of the procedure for creating a vagina is just "can a penis fit inside" instead of preserving nerves or making the clitoris functional.
      There are also some conditions where people don't know that they're intersex until they have fertility problems or health issues that require certain tests. Those intersex conditions are either mostly internal anatomical differences, the presentation of the outside anatomy is very subtle, the parents couldn't afford the surgery, or at birth the doctor never checked the baby for it. So it's definitely not uncommon for intersex individuals to be in that woman's situation.
