For me I believe it's a because to love someone it's very important that one must also like that person as well.

That statement may sound redundant to some because they believe it should be self evident that in order to love someone you must also like that person first. But I don't really think that's true at all.

Over the years I have come to realize that all of us have the capacity to love many people during the course of our life without really liking them very much. I believe this is the main reason for the high divorce rate in world today in that a lot of people fall in love with another person only to find out later they don't really like the person very much. This may sound a bit strange to some but I believe that in order to make love last a person must first be very sure they like that person before they commit to loving that person.

Too often people stay in relationships but don't really like the other person at all.

In the long run liking someone is much more important than loving that person. And how you think?
