Marriage Of Convenience for Dummies

Hey there! So, let's talk about the term "marriage of convenience." This is when two people get married for practical reasons rather than for love. It's like... you know when two people decide to get married because they want to help each other out, like one needs a place to live and the other needs help with their bills? It's like a partnership where both people benefit in some way, kind of like a business deal. It's not really about love or feeling a strong connection with the other person, but more about getting some kind of advantage or benefit from the marriage.

For example, let's say there are two friends who both need a place to live. Instead of each one finding their own place, they decide to get married so they can live together and split the rent. They might not have any romantic feelings for each other, but they're getting married for the convenience of sharing living expenses. Or it could be like when two people from different countries want to live and work in a different country. Getting married might make it easier for them to stay in that country, so they do it for the convenience of being able to live and work there.

So, a marriage of convenience is all about practicality and benefit, rather than love and emotional connection. It's like making a deal to help each other out in a practical way, without any romantic feelings involved.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions about it.
