Which is more beautiful: falling in love and then marrying someone, or marrying someone and then falling in love with them?

Falling in love — not too deeply at first — not all-consuming, and then getting married, only to realize it’s a bond for a lifetime, as marriage deepens that love. That kind of relationship is truly beautiful.
Not every love begins with intensity.

@Bleak Is it possible to fall in love without falling too deep? Most people tumble head over heels, with logic abandoned and stars in their eyes. It often feels like there’s no speed bump, just a downhill ride until they hit the bottom.

@Renkon. Yeah, it’s possible, though not too common.
Sometimes the person who’s meant to be your soulmate is right in front of you, and you don’t even realize it at the time. You can be friends for years without once feeling that there’s anything romantic between you. Then life takes you both on different paths — you drift apart, get caught up in the hustle and bustle. But when fate brings you back together, you fall in love. It’s not a love that’s overly deep or intense, wild or overwhelming, but it’s strong enough to withstand all the differences that might come after marriage.

Though it’s very rare and may sound a bit filmy, believe me — it’s possible.
