If a man (woman) had all the other qualities you desired, would you marry this person if you were not in love with him (her)? (No or Yes)

Love and Marriage

Details: This assignment explores cultural differences in beliefs about love and marriage. In your textbook (on p. 375), research conducted by Levine, Sato, Hashimoto, and Verma (1995) is described. As part of their research, they asked college students in 11 countries to complete questions regarding their views about love and marriage. Specifically, they were asked:

If a man (woman) had all the other qualities you desired, would you marry this person if you were not in love with him (her)? (No or Yes)

If love has completely disappeared from a marriage, I think it is probably best for the couple to make a clean break and start new lives? (Agree or Disagree)

In my opinion, the disappearance of love is not a sufficient reason for ending a marriage and should not be viewed as such. (Agree or Disagree)

Consider these questions and how you would answer them, and why. (You will not be asked to share this information.)
