Marriage Before Love Novels & Stories

“Yvonne, I thought about everything between us, I thought about it seriously and carefully. I love you and I want to marry you. I want you to make you happy. You must believe me!” “No! You must have never thought about it before. Love is a thing between two people, but a marriage isn’t the same–it involves two families. I was too foolish before and thought that love could overcome everything, but after all that happened, I know it’s not like that. It’s not just about you loving and wanting to marry me, do you understand?”

At the back of my mind, I didn't want to worry about who he was going out with when he never wanted this marriage before his family convinced him that it was going to be beneficial for both families. But I loved him. He was the first man I ever loved even before he knew me and my family revealed that they had arranged my marriage with him. I loved him before I agreed to be his wife, even though his heart was clearly elsewhere, and he didn't want to be with me. I was hopeful when we got married that he would have a change of heart and see me the way I saw him. If I never saw him on that fateful day before the whole arranged marriage, maybe I would've never fallen in love with him.

But now, I had no choice. “Fine,” I said, my voice shaking with anger. “We will get married now. But know this, Cynthia. I do not love you, and I never will.” She smirked, her eyes glinting with triumph. “Love is not necessary for a successful marriage, Aiden. You will learn to love me in time.” I wanted to scream in frustration as I followed her to the wedding hall. My life was spiraling out of control, and I had no idea what to do next.

Her aunt comes forward. “Juhee! Being Married is not something you should be ashamed of. It's a blessing that everyone wants.” Her aunt is a devoted wife. She loves her husband a lot, they had a love marriage. Unlike Juhee and Jacob who were tied to each other because of their family, it was not the same. But there's no way Juhee can say all this to her aunt who cares so much about her. “Aunt! I know what you mean. But everything happened so suddenly, we both got no time to react. We want some time to think. Can't we even have that?” Juhee sounded sad, it was pitiful that she was sad right now.

Her brain couldn't digest that she was married already. She was married! With Kelvin Williams! "We will pack all the things in your house," Kelvin said, breaking Luliyah out of her thoughts. Luliyah looked up, seeing Kelvin who said it while closing his eyes. "Ah ... But ..." Luliyah couldn't digest it all. Everything was happening so fast. Wasn't their marriage just a contract marriage? Should she also live with Kelvin? 'Contract marriage...' They were married because of their own interests. Harris initially opposed the marriage because Kelvin was in no gain position. Kelvin will spend a lot of money to pay for Luliyah's mother hospital bill, but what will she give Kelvin in return?

He held her hand and said, "Come on, let's go get married." "I haven't got my ID with me." Blake raised his other hand. He had both their documents in his hand. They went to City Hall and came out with their marriage certificate. Sadie was still unable to believe it. Did she just get married? She had been in a relationship with Chad for five years, but she ended up marrying Blake instead. When they got back into the car, Sadie thought Blake would take her home, but he brought her to the hospital instead. Sadie rejected the thought of being at the hospital. She was unwilling to get out of the car.

At the top was a note she'd written long ago. "In the best years of my life, I will marry the person who loves me the most." She had deceived herself. Tears fell onto the page, blurring the words until they bled into one another. She and Orson had been college sweethearts. After graduation, she stayed in this city for him, turning down a better job far away. Now, Maude wanted nothing more than to leave this place because of him. Orson's so-called "obligation" felt like a cruel slap in the face.

Even with her thick skin, Karsyn could still sense the subtle attack. Love often blinds people. She had been one of them. Britney didn’t say anything further. She figured she’d let Karsyn learn the hard way. But she did emphasize one thing: “Just don’t have sex before marriage! Marriage isn’t like grocery shopping—‘buy one, get one free’ isn’t always a good thing!” “Fine, I’ll listen to you, okay?” Karsyn pouted. Just then, the wooden sliding door was pulled open, and fresh, delicious dishes were placed on the table.

I looked at her as she pointed in their direction. ”I remember marrying my husband at fifteen.” My mouth dropped. “Fifteen?” She nodded. “That’s how marriage works before. As long as you feel like you love that person, you decide and it happens. Unlike these two.” I glanced at them as she continued. ”So if you ever realized that you love my son. Decide. Don’t prolong and beat around the bush. Stop fooling yourselves by the charm of the time." She looked me straight in the eye.

From childhood, he has only seen his brother instructing his father, and his father doing the complete opposite of what she says. "Son, in our time, we didn't have a love marriage concept. Our parents used to like a girl for us and we were supposed to say yes without any problem. Your mother and I didn't meet before our marriage, we never talked, we never got a chance to talk about our likes dislikes, to get to know each other. We met for the first time at our wedding. It wasn't love at first sight. After marriage, we slowly started falling for each other when got to know each other." A faint but charming smile adorned Ahmed's face when recalled his initial days of marriage.
