[WFTR]

I can think of plenty of advantages. Just for the record, advantages to me do not necessarily mean they are advantages, logical or desirable to others. ;~)

Do you want to describe some of these advantages?

[My hearts in London - Everett]

1. Companionship

2. Tired of looking for “LOVE”

3. Don’t believe in or want LOVE anymore

4. Financial reasons

5. Caring for someone enough, even though love isn’t there

6. common goals

Most of these could come under the umbrella of “marriage of convenience”, an old-fashioned term. Love is not necessary for a successful marriage. Also, love can develop from a caring relationship.
