Can marriage survive without love

Law Offices of Todd K. Mohink, PA CALL US NOW: 410-204-4697 Available To Help You SCHEDULE CONSULTATION ≡MENU CAN A MARRIAGE SURVIVE WITHOUT LOVE? logo Back in the 1960s, The Beatles sang “All you need is love.” But do you even need love nowadays for a successful marriage? Ideally, yes. But many couples are staying together for other reasons, such as kids. Their relationship evolves from a romantic one to a parenting one. In the past, those in rocky marriages with kids would have several options: get divorced, stay together in a miserable marriage, go into therapy and work harder on the marriage, or have an affair. Having a romantic bond with your partner for decades can be challenging to say the least. It can be next to impossible when kids are involved. That’s why after the love is gone, many couples file for divorce. Should You Work on Your Marriage? If you’re living in a loveless marriage, what do you do now? Should you try to work things out? It ultimately depends on your goals. Do you want to fall in love with your partner all over again? Or are you just hanging in there until the kids are grown and out of the house? If you are in a loveless marriage with kids, then you may opt for a parenting marriage. This refers to a non-romantic marriage centered around child rearing. Couples tend to have mixed feelings about this. Some may think that this does not really constitute a marriage, while many couples are already doing this in their marriages anyway. Should You Stay in a Loveless Marriage? Even without kids, many couples stay in loveless marriages and there are a few reasons why. Many want to avoid talking to their spouse about how they feel about their marriage because they want to avoid hurting them. However, not communicating can be even more hurtful. Couples also stay together due to social norms. Society deems a marriage successful by how long it lasts. A marriage that lasts 50 years, even if the couple was not romantic for the last 20 years, is considered successful, whereas a love-filled 10-year marriage is not. How to Proceed Many couples choose to live in a loveless marriage due to children, financial reasons, or simply the practicality of living under one roof. Whatever the case, know that a marriage without love stunts the growth of the two parties involved. In this case, you either stay or walk away. If you do stay, you need to find out how to be happy in a loveless marriage and determine what you are hoping to get out of the marriage. Many people choose to be happy and therefore end the marriage in hopes of finding a relationship that is more compatible.

MOMENTS with YOU By Dennis and Barbara Rainey

June 16 Out in the Open The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25 Being "naked" but "not ashamed." This is why we get married—not just to have sex, but also to become emotionally intimate with another person. We want someone we can be openly transparent with, someone who accepts us, even when we're being our real selves. Yet although this is what our souls long for, many couples—especially young couples—hide this need behind the mere act of sexual togetherness. They find having sex easier than opening up to each other spiritually, where the potential for hypocrisy and awkwardness always exists. Sex can be easier than opening up emotionally, letting someone else in on their fears and worries and dreams and deepest feelings. That's why, even when the level of sexual intimacy is high in a marriage, the level of real transparency can still be surprisingly low... and subtly debilitating....

A review of the book 'four loves' by c.s.lewis

"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves." We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible." " The Four Loves deserves t...

Romantic Words For Him By Alexandra Fox

Sometimes, I give lectures and seminars to groups of women around the country. Mostly small groups of less than 50 women, but I still have a lot of fun meeting them and listening to their love problems -- and giving them life-changing solutions! After giving these talks for several years, I've learned something very important -- the way I speak to my audience has a big effect on how they respond to me. And certain words have a much bigger effect on them than others. It's not just me, either -- I've also realized, especially during our open forums, that virtually every woman in the world "talks" to herself. This self-talk is often unconscious, and -- unfortunately -- it's also often sad and depressive. Many of my clients look at themselves small -- "I'm not pretty," "I'm not sexy enough," "I'm not as smart as I w...
