For example, you may love your sister, but that doesn't qualify you to marry her.

And so another one of your cuddly-feely generalisations gets shot down

Ok, what about arranged marriages over in India and other places where their culture abided by those rules? The men and women there dont especially LOVE eachother as man and wife but still have a family and their lives are a success in their eyes.

And Gary, if you just said that love is not the only pre-requisite for marriage then what was the point of stating the first paragraph about how a marriage's success is based on the LOVE of the husband and wife. Your second phrase just negated your first paragraph completely.
