Marrying for love, not for marriage

Marriage for the sake of love is a more ideal choice, as it is built on an emotional foundation that contributes to the stability and happiness of long-term relationships. Getting married for the sake of marriage may lead to increased conflicts and even relationship breakdowns due to a lack of emotional foundation. When marriage is based on love, both parties are more likely to form emotional resonance and deep connections. Common values and life goals can promote mutual understanding and generate stronger resilience in the face of life pressures. Emotional investment makes couples more willing to put effort into their relationship and adopt constructive communication methods in conflicts. The tacit understanding and trust cultivated through long-term shared experiences can effectively reduce disputes caused by trivial matters. Choosing marriage due to social pressure or age anxiety can easily overlook the compatibility of both parties' personalities and needs. Couples lacking emotional bonds may focus more on material conditions or external manifestations, making it difficult to form a truly intimate relationship. When faced with practical issues such as parenting and economics, conflicts tend to erupt. Some people view marriage as a task accomplished and no longer invest energy in managing relationships after marriage, leading to emotional alienation. Regardless of the chosen marriage model, it is recommended to have sufficient communication before marriage to clarify each other's expectations and bottom line for marriage. Maintain emotional interaction frequency after marriage, regularly review relationships, and prioritize handling emotions before resolving problems when encountering conflicts. Cultivate common interests and hobbies, create freshness, and reserve appropriate personal space for each other. Pay attention to the danger signals in the relationship and seek professional psychological counseling if necessary. The quality of marriage depends on sustained emotional investment and mutual growth.
