This is a real challenge, one may be deeply in love with a person, that is having your heart in the relationship, however, the other person may be interested in you because, they see their future secured with you. You could be well-settled, have good genes, a decent job etc. And they chose to marry you for these reasons. This is the brain in the relationship. Do you think, that involving brain in a relationship is selfish? Could the brain learn to love the heart later on?

This thread focuses on relationships, including communication, dynamics, challenges, advice, and their impact on personal growth and connections.
If you just want to follow your heart, you would most likely end up with a wrong person in marriage. Following your heart simply implies that you shouldn't really consider your goals in life provided you have deep feelings for the person. I won't advise anyone to follow their hearts alone. It must be a balance of emotions and logic in choosing someone to marry.
Brain guides logic and boundaries, heart fuels passion and connection. Relying too much on either can cause problems. I try to listen to both when making relationship decisions for healthier, happier outcomes.
Relationship is a matter of heart. You feel love, and love is a matter of heart. However, getting married to your love of live sometimes can also be a matter of brain. When you get married, you also need money to manage your family, and if you end up marrying a person who does not have money, you will end up in a troubled married life.
I always tell people that love hitherto heart is not enough to keep a relationship. I believe that people should have a balance of their hearts and brain in romantic relationships. Love doesn't shut down your brain. And don't be too logical in relationship to shut out emotions too.
I have been hurt so badly in the past that I won't want to give out my heart again wholly to anyone. Holding back a little bit is me using my head to protect my heart from being broken. It doesn't leave me in a good place when I give my heart and I am hurt so badly.
I am one of those who believed that practical consideration can't be ignored in any kind of relationship for it to work. I am not saying that emotions and love aren't essential either but in an ideal situation, it is pertinent for the heart and the brain to align.
