Oh yeah. Lots of stupid people out there. It might not be lust but it is at least, quite often, infatuation.. Which is far different from love.

Love is not something you fall into.. It is something you grow.

 Yeah, actually my parents married for lust. They knew each other less than half a year before they got married, now they are divorced, the marriage failed miserably.

 I married for lust, thinking it was love. Now I am going through a painful divorce because my cute wife is also very immature and crafty. However it provided a lot of maturation, 2 precious children and a lot of good times and sex.

 I think they do and it shows up in the divorce rate today.

 I think that is particularly true when people rush into a marriage. It takes time to grow to truly love a person. If it is a big hurry, then there is little time to do that. If you intend to spend your entire life with a person, you don't need to rush.

 True. Lust and love are two similar concepts than many of the truly uneducated confuse with the other. Just like some believe love is actually a lust for one, some can experience love and mistake it for lust.

 Many people do get the two confused in relationships. It can be a hurtful thing when true feelings are revealed.

 I'm reminded of a tacky joke with the punchline "until the check bounced".

There are dozens of definitions for love and about as many different shades of "lust", which is also the German word for simple desire, as a lust for a faster Internet connection, or an easier-to-clean keyboard.

Goodness, compare marriage to a computer system ... Some folk buy with intent to use "for life" and others would rather do a system replacement than care for what they already have.

Yes, some marry for carnal lust, and some because they desire/lust to establish a family or household, and then there are all the shades of "love". In good times, the best grow. In bad times, the worst fail or are miraculously tempered into something better.

 Gaurnteed.. If you can blind the one eye monster into thinking its the best thing he'll ever have... You can guarantee marriage is just an excuse for him to get it all the time....

 I agree, because it's true, some people do marry for lust instead of love, you should make sure that you are attracted to them before you take any relationship to the next level. My fiance and are in-love, we have been together for 3 years today. We must In-Love, for being able to stay together for 3 years!

 Yes, I must agree. Some newly weds are to entralled with lust for their spouse that inevitably, they begin to lose that chemistry they once had. Ultimately, they will likely divorce.

 I agree. Love and lust are very different. Chemistry can be a very strong lure but you really need to make sure that you are attracted to more than just the sex. After awhile lust fades and your stuck with someone you may not even like.
