Corroborating on the point that aromantic relationships are entirely feasible, there is evidence that couples in [[arranged marriage]]s are not unhappier despite often not loving each other in the beginning, but then get used to each other and bond (presumably via endorphins released during [[sex]]). Such couples typically also last longer than "love marriages" (see [[arranged marriage]]). | |||
