She said when you get married you have to like the person you are marrying and not just love them. I think you need to like them more than you love them. The love comes and goes but if you don't like them - the marriage is a living hell. Now the article points out that the concept of marriage being fulfilling to both people is new. That portion of the article made me raise my eyebrows and think that might be why so many couples can't figure out how to develop a marital relationship that is fulfilling for both and eventually stop liking one another.
I agree with u completely, for me its the other way around.... I like my husband a whole lot because of the caring, nurturing person he is and always has been..... It is now that I am learning to love him as man,person, husband and friend. :)
