Is it Better to Marry Someone who Loves you More than You Love Them?

I could say that it is better to marry someone who is equally in love with you, but how fairy tale is that? How can you tell if someone loves you more than you love them? Everyone shows their affection in different ways, right?

I think that as long as you marry someone who is in love with you, you should be okay! I was proposed to at the age of 18. On my 18th birthday, in fact. Though it seems looking back, neither one of us were really in love with one another. I don't even know why he proposed. Mr. M. proposed to me in front of my family and friends at my birthday party. If he would have had it his way, it would have been in front of an assembly at my high school. I was glad that wasn't the case. Looking back, I think that I said yes because I didn't want to embarass him in front of my family and friends. My friends, Donte & James, gave me a very interesting gift that year, which Mr. M. was not very happy about. It was the movie "Fools Rush In". I thought it was funny. Mr. M. thought it was rude.

Anywho, Mr. M. cheated on me several times and tried to get my sister in the sack while we were engaged. Luckily for me, my sister was more loyal to me than he was. It ended. He left the state and fled back to live with his parents. He eventually got married and moved back down to Florida. While I was away at AIT for the Army, Hurricane Charlie came through and cleansed the state of Mr. M. who again moved back to Indiana. I believe that he still lives there.

What are your thoughts on marriage? Is marrying someone without love okay? Will it work out?
