I hope I'll never have to get married again, but to be honest, yes, I could marry for other reasons than love. Companionship, sharing of household finances, stability.

Ms. Magazine had a great article on what some people call a "Boston marriage ". I could see myself in a relationship like that with my best friend. We're each other's primary caregivers and companions, but we're not sexually/romantically involved. I could even see myself in an arrangement like that with a male friend, if my current marriage didn't work out, or if by some unfortunate event, my husband passes away before I do.
