Do you beleive that gender plays a role in whether people marry for love or pratical reasons.

certainly not,
when two people are in love and as long as they can respect each other, care about each other, and always support each other whenever they need it, gender means nothing.
bi, gay, lesb, straight, Love has no gender or age.
tho some people(mainly closed minded people)
have problems because of their own personal problems and fear.

I personally do not think that gender should should play a role when people marry. Hopefully the two are together for the right reason. However, I do think that a lot of relationships do not know what love really is and they marry because it is the so called "right thing to do".

Both sexes marry for personal and practical reasons. We marry because our parents married and tell us that sex outside of marriage is wrong morally speaking. We marry to have children born into a stable environment. And most women feel more comfortable having sex with a partner who shares their values. It feels wonderful to work your way through problems and grow closer through communication! Marriage isn't for everyone. Look at the family history of your intended mate: do they have any divorces in their family. Ask your partner how he feels about that. It is also good to discuss how many children you two will have, where you'll work and manage family, work and your relationship together. Make sure that your parnter is marrying you for the right reasons. If there are disagreements keep a level head. It is possible to negotiate almost anything as long as you know that this person will keep their word. Go for it!
