I would think that any marriage setup at the outset as only a 'friendship
marriage' could never really work.  The necessary closeness (physical,
mental, emotional, etc.) would probably not exist.  Without closeness,
how could you continue to live with the same person day in and day out
for years?

In a related (?) topic, I once know a man (homosexual) who married this
woman (homosexual) LEGALLY just so they could be considered more legitimate
in this world (they have never seen each other since - or at least since
the last time I saw him).  Is this unusual or what?
