Dear LIB readers; can you fall in love with your hubby later?

From a female LIB reader
There's this fellow that wants to marry me but I am not in love with him, I do not even find him attractive but he's a catch, asin he has a good job, he's well behaved and he really loves me. My family and friends say I should accept his proposal, that love will come later. If I don't feel anything special for him now, will it come after I marry him? I don't want to be in loveless marriage so I am wary of entering this union. Please advice

Coming from a guy I think you should accept he's offer especially if you don't have someone who wants you or you ain't in a serious relationship

Unknown said...

If you don't love him now, you don't even find him attractive in any way, then don't marry him. You will only torture him and make yourselves miserable

Now let me start with asking you a question how old are u? Once you are able to answer that there u have ur answer

It's very possible. But what if you just don't fall in love with him later? It's a gamble my dear Channels TV news anchor caught blowing colleague a kiss on live TV

Marry me...am a love you till you be like that's enough

First of all, why don't u get to know him before marriage. Go out together, chat often too. During that time u might get to know if he's the kinda person u want as a life partner. Personally though, i would love to marry a man that loves and cherishes me more than i do him. It is easier for a woman to grow to love a man who adores her than for a man to grow to love a woman, especially after marriage.

Nne this sounds exactly like my story. I married a very good man I'm not in love with nor finds attractive. He loves me and takes good care of me and our kids. We've been together for 4yrs now and I still don't love him. I'm just used to him. We're living fine but that little butterflies in the stomach love ain't there for me at all. I'm a faithful wife and I've accepted the faith of living like this forever. Yours may turn out same way.

Depends on d definition u gave the whole ish.. It works that way for some ppl, atleast I'v witnessed that some couple of times.. But then that it works for others doesn't mean it will work for u... Its better u check within urself αи∂ know if u really wanna marry now or cos ur parents are on ur neck.
If ur sure u won't feel anything for d guy later, then allow him to marry sm1 that will love him like he deserve... A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage.

Follow ur heart plz. Don't go into a marraige because a guy is rich cos u might never find happiness in it. Look elsewhere for love n marriage plz

This is a gamble, love can be cultivated, and there is also the possibility that you will end up hating him the more.
Anyway life is full of risk, but we are advised to take reasonable risks.

yawanow said...

If you don't love him now, you will never love him. If you are capable of loving, then you can focus on his good and bad attributes (courtship), and see if you can cope with them or love them before acceptance. Remember marriage is a life time, divorce shouldn't be your watchword.

It's best to love some1 dat loves u dan some1 u love....since u love all his stuff den u'll find it in ur heart to love him later on or maybe not...

U can go ahead if he really loves you. I was in the same shoes as u 3yrs ago Bt nw I love my hubby die!

Please don't. Love will not come after marriage instead, u need to love him first before deciding to get married to him. Why the rush in the first place? Get to know him well, be friends with him and let things fall in the right places before u go ahead with the marriage. All the best darling

Anonymous said...

Well, my suggestion is you first get to know him and spend time with him. Date him for sometime, getting to know him may change how you feel. But please dont go into a loveless marriage so you dont end up cheating on your husband! all the best!

Marry someone u love not just someone that loves u. If u don't love him, certainly u cannot tolerate him or forgive him when he wrongs u. But on d other hand, only what can make u love him after marriage is if there is mutual likeness n he has d characters u admire in a man. My dear, marriage is deeper than just being a good catch n all those things u think. He must have d ability to make u smile even when u r so angry with him. Ur mere look at him must b satisfactory to u.

My dear, marry who u love now. Love may never come later. Don't live with regrets. Don't marry him because of superficial things. All those may vanish. Then what? What if u never love him? ? Please be wise. Forget what family/friends say. U are the one entering someone's home not them. Mo-1

Unknown said...

The love may come, it may not come.
But to be on the safe side, try to love him before marriage, still date him for some time, don't rush into marriage like that, if you still don't love him, then don't marry him.

Anonymous said...

Love is a verb! An action! Not a feeling! Movie directors have brainwashed people into thinking it's a feeling! Feelings change as the situation changes.
My view is that you are either comfortable with the person's behaviour and you chose to love the person or you pray about it and if God directs you to marry the person, you also chose to love them

Unknown said...

To love is a decision and not just a feeling that come upon us (not saying it is bad to feelings too). if it is just a feeling, what happen when the feeling is no more? God command is children to love because He knows they can chose to love. I will not advise you to marry the person you are not attracted to but i will say you must love the person you marry. You should decide if i marry this person i am going to love him/her, that is very important.

bumade said...

If you don't love him, then don't marry him. Still take time to date and know one another more and if you still don't feel anything special, let him go because money can't buy happiness all the time. If he loses the good job and financial stability, you will really hate his guts and be miserable. Don't do it! www.bunmisimplesblog.com

Hello you. That story of yours is a little different from mine. I met my husband 17 yrs ago and it wasn't love at first sight. He was everything a woman would want in a man and I knew my family would love him. It was perfect. I made myself love him and it has been so up until March when I came across someone. It was an instant crush and I quenched it as fast as possible. This September I was going through depression and I couldn't find succour. I thought of this person and I re-established contact. Hmmmm. Now I finally know what the Romance writers mean when they talk about being in love. It finally happened to me.m as in, electric sparks, butterflies in the stomach and much more.
The condemers will be quick to scream *Adulterer*. Lol. I don't mind. The good thing is that I won't cheat on my husband physically but emotionally I will. So my dear, 17 years after a happy marriage I can only tell you that you can get married TO LOVE but you don't need to be married to be IN LOVE. Its so sweet, it hurts.

Anonymous said...

My dear what else do you want from a guy. He is well behaved, has a good job and loves you. I think that's every ladies dream.
Or do you preffer the flashy handsome guy that is rude and doesn't really care much about you except for what he stands to gain.
I am guy and I always advise my fellow guys to marry a girl that loves you more than you love her. Because any guy that marrys a girl he loves so much and the girl doesn't love him is in trouble.
If I know this your suitor I will advise him to Shine his Eyes very well. I don't think you deserve him.

Put your mind into it, dont allow distractions because it creates confusion and makes things complicated. Hold on to that man and believe he is the one and you will fall in love with him. Give him your all and concentrate fully and he will make you happy. Take a man that loves you more serious than the one you love but don't really want you

Prayer said...

You are a woman, you should marry a man who loves and adores you. You have said he's well behaved, that means he will treat you right and you in turn will grow to love him. But if you are the one loving and chasing after him, hmmmm..... he will turn your nose into a flute. Chasing different women, not coming home, bring different women into your home, beat you complain...... The list is endless. Ask God to put his love in your heart when you pray. God bless you.

you be mumu ask yourself assuming he has no money will your family still want you to marry him and love him later? infact ask your family this question. stupid people after you will start cheating in marriage and blaming Satan now Satan is chilling in his Jacuzzi you are disturbing him. let the young man be. tell him he is a nice guy but you cant marry him. mumu girl and mumu family.

Your family and friends are really greedy if truly they've asked you to marry and love will come later. Love does matter in marriage and it's not always about money. Be wise, patience and fervent prayer will see you through.

Anonymous said...

Marry a man you respect, not necessarily one you are madly in love with. Your ability to respect your husband is more important than loving him the way we women like to be loved. That type of love is meaningless to a husband.

Well i believe Love shouldn't be the reason to marry, but Marriage should be the reason to Love.
This means you can learn to love him later, it has worked for our parents in time past and i believe it can still work. Afterall, the major thing bthat kills love quickly which is money has been settled so go ahead, don't stop...lol

It's possible that you will love him later! Love is a Choice, you can love anybody. I want to ask you, how do you know you love some one? What is love? Is it some kind of feeling? Think about these things. The guy that makes your hear beat may not treat you well after he marries you and believe me 3years later into that marriage your heart will not be missing a beat anymore. What will u be left with? You said it urself, this guy is well behaved &loves you. Its better he loves you because the other way round is not pleasant at all. Women are love creatures. When we are treated very well we see our selves loving. Pray about it. Talk to ur pastor or who ever it is that you respect and admire. They must be married at least 10 years! God's speed.

My dear it happened to me! I was just like U! I only like him, then I pray n follow my heart cos he really loves me. Now I love my husband like mad. I love him each passing day. Pray to God 4 his will n not ur own will cos he knows best. Remember it is better dat more of the love should come from d man than from d lady. A woman has a soft heart she can always love later in marriage as long as she is a godly woman.

I understand the doldrums single women of advancing age go through. But I see no sense/reason to tie the knot with someone you find unattractive. Any relationship that doesn't rise from mutual feelings is a form of slavery.

If you try it, adultery is in your future. Do not do it. It's better for you to be 39 and unmarried than to be in a marriage where your husband's touch disgusts you. A word is enough for the wise.

Unknown said...

My dear sister, you may not know this, but you happen to be one of the most fortunate women on the planet right now. It is ironical that women want to be happily married but they choose a beast as husband. God has sent you a friend who will make you enjoy marriage, respect you and bring out the best in you. Ask some women who are sad in marriage and they will tell you they despised a 'good man' and chose a 'corporate man.' Loving someone who loves you back is the best gift you can give yourself. I advice that you spend time with God to take the confusion away and lead you correctly. At times our hearts deceive us to choose a serpent instead of fish. Stop deluding yourself that you will one day fall in love with a suitor. Yes you may but I am not sure it will be a suitor with these fine qualities. It is slavery to love a man who 'loves' many other women even when he claims he loves you. Tis is what some women are saddled with because they rejected real love. Is this what you want?

i think the question you need to ask yourself is "why you have not reciprocated his love for you"
these are few reasons why i think you have not
1. maybe bcoz u have some oda guy in mind
2. maybe he doesnt have what you desire so much in your guy
3. maybe you are carried away with the thought of "i just dont like him".....and so on,you need to sit yourself down think tru the reasons why u feel u dont like diz guy then, try and see if dey are reasons that you could change.
one thing i know is that our mind plays a major role in how we physically react to everything in life...mail me @udehemmanuel.c@gmail.com if you are confused about anything as i will be glad to reply you.

What are you guys foing together. Are you in a relationship? I guess so since you are nursing the idea of marriage at all. I mean you are currently dating each other. So how has that experience been.
Is the romance good enough for you. Other department of marriage nko? Are the above pass mark.
If all these are good then give the relationship more dept fir say about a year. You should feel somthing by then. If not end it. I only hope that the man you can love will turn out to by a man that cares for you. Cheers and good luck

Pray about it first.. Its possible to love later, most indians n in d olden days the bride doesn't even know her hubby until after the engagement and they fall in love later.. But if he doesn't fit into wat u want in a man, like physical looks and all, u might find yourself cheating wen u meet someone u really like, so pray and think well, spend quality time with him to know if there is a little feeling that can stand as a foundation to build on but if there is none.. Hmmmmmmm.... All is well o..

Na God I take beg you, no make that mistake. Trust me if love doesn't come now I doubt it will ever come.You said it yourself ,you don't want to be in a loveless marriage.You shouldn,t marry him just because ppl say you should or because his wealthy,because at the end of the day if you marry him you'll find out that his wealth is useless without the love and you'll just end up felling empty.Relationships shouldn't be based on wealth or looks cause they all fade away, but on love.

the guy is not attractive because you still feel you have other attractive people around you. the moment you make up your mind to be with him and shut your attention from distractions, you will gradually start finding him attractive, then love comes in. you may be the one to make him as attractive as you want. since he has good job it means when worked on him he can be attractive as you want. don't be surprise that so many other girls are dying to be with him.

Have you ever been in a relationship with this guy, nice, caring, loving, perfect gentle man, better than every other one you have dated but yet you don’t just feel him, there is no connection, you try to work hard to love him and the more you try, the more it stresses you out as love and commitment becomes work?… Your family loves him and your friends think you are so lucky but there is just this piece of puzzle that don’t seem to add up, you start asking yourself if anything is wrong with you? and when you try to tell your friends or family they go out on you saying ” what are you doing?, so you don’t like good things eh?, you want to throw this boy that has come to redeem you? what are you looking for in life? you will regret this decision!”. After a conversation like that, you still try and you are not feeling it, should you marry him because he’s good to you or should you move on?

There are two kinds of great guys you might meet in life, there is “A Great Guy” (not for you) and “The Great guy”(made for you), you see both of them are good and fits the ideal man but one is for you while the other is not, people may not understand why you cannot make it work with “A Great Guy” and everybody may think you have made a mistake when you leave him, but you know you feel unsettled in your heart… just know you are right to move on from that relationship, not every great guy is great for you but when you meet “The great guy”, all those doubts would go away.

“A great guy” versus “The great guy”

They are both ideal men but one is great for you while the other isn’t
With a great guy, you try hard to love him, with the great guy, love is not an issue with him
You may think you are not worth a great guy’s love because you don’t love him back and you pity him… You love the great guy and he loves you back and you guys may even be wondering who loves each other more
You walk around egg shell with a great guy and may not be free to be yourself but with the great guy, you are at ease, you enjoy every moment and things are just fluid with you guys
You would totally enjoy and look forward to hanging out and communicating with “the great guy” but most times hanging out with “a great guy” is like a chore
I am not saying that every guy you are free with, that fits into the characteristics of “the great guy” is your husband o, I am just saying if you are with “a great guy” and you don’t understand why you can’t connect with him, then he may not be the one.

Why you shouldn’t Marry a great guy

If you listen to everybody and still marry “a great guy” that you almost have no connection with aka “you are not feeling” you would most likely be

Frustrated
Unfulfilled
Angered easily or bitter
Most likely regret it
Bored out of your mind
Resent the people that advised you to marry him
Struggle to submit
May not have a fulfilled sex life


If you marry “the great guy”

Fulfilled and this will lead to being the best you can be
Happy
Enjoy almost every moment
Connection is magical
You will definitely get angry with him sometimes but hardly bitter
You will not struggle to submit and other things
Most likely have a fulfilled sex life
All I am trying to say, don’t get it twisted, for the fact he is a great guy and fits the picture of the ideal man doesn’t mean he is for you, therefore another girl “a great guy” could be “the great guy” for another girl.

Barrex(King Of Spadez) said...

85 to 95% of married couples are in a loveless marriage and in my personal opinion and experience you cannot develop the said love much later but what you get is mutual respect and at best comfort because you know or feel that if you leave you might not find anyone like him anymore and for that reason you will now have to compensate by showering all the love you have on your kids but when you're asked you will say you love your family rather than your husband.....Bottom line is you cannot grow to love each other after you're married.

Marrying a man you are not attracted to nor have even very little feelings for will be a great mistake. Yes!sometimes love comes in marriage, but what if it does not come and you are stuck in a loveless marriage. If he loses his job tomorrow, that will
like be end of your marriage. Don't marry a man because you think he will be a good provider, marry a man because you love him and most especially he is the will of God for you. Pray my dear sister.

My dear it is better to build love than falling in love.. Trust me u won't know when or how it will happen. I was not inlove with my hubby before marriage but now I so love him than anything. I cant even do without him. Dear go on and accept his proposal with God love will finally come. Wish u best of luck.

if he wants to marry you that means you are already dating him . can a man come from the blues and want to marry you ? then it wont work cos u dont love him

Ada said...

Yes, it's possible to fall in love in marriage. Women are quite emotional and fall in love more with someone they are quite familiar with. In marriage you'd spend more time together and grow fond of him, from there feelings and subsequently love, develop. My BFF was in a similar situation, and she confessed to not loving her hubby before marriage but after they got married. She chose to marry him inspite of the absence of love initially, because he had all the qualities of a good man and husband, plus he loved her dearly. She chose right because that love he had for her held them close for the first 9yrs of they not having children (they have a set of twins now). Her love for him has grown with time and nutrition. Some cases differ tho due to different precipitating factors.

Don't force ursef my dear, or else u will regret it.

Unknown said...

Okay..that's easy..To begin with,you are thinking about it that's why you' r seeking advice..meaning more or less you' r considering it..Just take a moment and see what I shall point out here for you..you said that he is well behaved, that he loves you and in your very words that he is a "catch" and just may be in time after marriage you might love him...right?
Come to think of it, I will be well behaved too when am seeking to marry a lady( so to the generality of many that's common..okay! however it's out).
Secondly, he loves you and that is good but you don't love him so there is a clause..( marriage union should be an entity comprising of both him and you sharing whatever there is to share and that includes love..so if he loves alone and you do not love him also there will be no sharing of love. He will give, give, continue giving and he may just observe is not getting back..hope you understand my drift? again a clause.
I understand that money is good..and to a very large extend makes life good so to say..but if he is a catch, what are you? And who is really to be caught here? Think dear..unless you are saying that you don't place value on yourself..what I mean to ask is that; don't you have a means to an end, don't you have a job or some form of livelihood? If yes, then come-on you don't need that kind of "catch" what you do need is a catch of an unending happiness in regardless of marital problems fluctuations. Catch or no Catch, money or no money do not solve the issue of finding love it only prolongs it..trust me.
Finally, time is crazy when it matters on love, relationship, marriage and all....Marry him first and later you may love him,,,oooo,thats K, it's old school and that's so cheap...come-on who does that only a valueless fellow I beg to say..are you valueless if that's even a word I beg to use it..Listen, we are talking about LOVE okay! Not just affection, not just care, not just the other kind of things that makes or surrounds love, not the components of love but love itself as an entity. When love does not exist it does not exist. Here we are talking about straight to marriage no form of courtship for some time at least then I seriously fear for any existence of love in and during the marriage.
NB: (i) If you think you like him enough for now to get married..okay
(ii) If you think you can handle the issues that may arise in striving to find love in a MARRIED relationship..okay
(iii) If you think you value more your family opinions about the matter in question...okay
(iv) If you think your decision is worthless compare to people's..okay
(v) If you think you can mortgage your happiness for money..well okay
(vi) If you conclude time can heal every wound..okay

Have a compassion for someone you want to marry. I advice you to love someone before you get marry at all. Beauty or handsomness is not important but if you consider that yes is alright but love him for whom he is at your courtship

Yes u can. Its more important that he loves u. If he truly loves u and shows it, u will fall in love with him. But if u marry someone u love but does not love u, u will be even more angry.

Please dont!!!! It is difficult enough for married people in love to keep that relationship going, talkless of a relationship defficient of love. Please note that the absence of love magnifies little habits that you may be over looking now. Trust me, in marriage, the tiny habits that used to be cute when dating grow into irritation in marriage and it takes the Grace of God.

love will always come after the marriage. Ask yourself this: what are things you like about him and what don't you like about him and if the good out weigh the bad then; he is the one. Please don't create more bad things because you don't love him, be sincere to yourself.how is communication between you two. I felt the same way before i married my husband three years ago and a wise woman asked me to do this and we have a son now and i am very much in love with my husband and happy with my family.The Bible tells us to love the one we marry and not marry the one you love. What if you marry the one you love and you are never happy, then what? Divorce or suffer in silence. Think about it.

please don't. Love will not come later. Don't get married for convenience sake please. You would be living in hell

love is not what you can rush into at your first sight, it takes a gradual process to retain the feeling and develop it. all you need to do is, ask him for a friendship for a while and then spend some nice time with him like going out together, doing shopping together e.t.c. and if there are still no any sigh of love feeling in you. then, the ball is in your court.

What a great question.

You may learn to love him in the long run, but you may never become sexually attracted to him. Many ppl marry for security so you would not be the first to go that path. Truthfully, I think love is overrated at times. When you think about family rearing and the peace of mind that comes with being financially solid, and having a partner of good character all of that trumps love which can quickly fizzle when money is not around and the man has a bad character. He loves you so that is a boon, at least you know he is already in your corner. It is your choice at the end of the day.

Sweetheart, what you feel is lust, obsession or infatuation. And trust me, this "butterfly in ur tummy" stage will pass. I wonder what you will have then. Feeling is fleeting and love is a choice.

Anonymous said...

I'm in the same dilemma right now and it's giving me sleepless nights. We started dating under the premises that love will grow, one year down the road and I still feel nothing. 

I don't know what to do anymore, he is my definition of the perfect guy, any woman would be lucky to marry him. It's by far the best relationship I have ever had but there is something missing. 

No physical attraction, no emotional connection, I can't bring myself to have sex with him (funny he thinks I'm just conservative but I'm actually wild in bed if I'm attracted to you)  

Seeing him sometimes feels like punishment but I suck it up cos I believe in faking it till you make it but it's getting so exhausting. Funny enough I haven't cheated on him but the way I see it it's only a matter of time. 

I don't know what to do, all my friends and family love him ( Damn, if I were them i'd love him too) so I keep my reservations to myself. I know I don't love him, he knows I don't love him but he doesn't seem to care. 

I will miss him if I left and feel terrible for breaking his heart but I can't shake the feeling that there is something better out there. Or is this love? Confused girl‎

You will grow to love him. Sounds like my story but it's not applicable anymore. He is my all in all.
