[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 years for us. We may be a success story in the future.

Married, yes for love, but similar backgrounds, and yes because it was time, and yes for procreation. Because, the urge to procreate is one most women cannot escape in our mid-twenties and early-thirties. At least I couldn't. It is similar to men's urge to f*ck.

And in that respect, we are a success. As an arranged marriage (we aren't, but I kind of view us that way) we are a success. We get along. We are respectful. We are together as parents. For those people who say love is a verb, not a feeling, well, we are a brilliant shining star looking like a huge success.

Act like you love him. It might get you there in the end![/quote]

This doesn’t sound like a success story. Sounds like you two got married for pragmatic reasons and you’re learning to like it. [/quote]

The why they got married doesn't matter. How they did/are doing does. I overheard the parents of the bride and groom at our friends wedding chatting about 'I hope our kids make it....  you never know....' One set had married for love. The other set married because their first marriages failed and they had kids to raise, and they liked each other enough, had things in common and it was easier to wrangle the kids. That has grown into a deep love. Neither is more valid than the other.[/quote]

I guess the question is how does OP define success??[/quote]
