Marry for Love

""If I do marry, I want it to be for love.""

- Princess Jasmine

Not for money, power, political alliance, social standing, compatibility, looks or children, but because they are attracted to the other person, feels a bond with them and wants to be with them for as long as possible. Of course, those things might end up being part of the package anyway.

Marry for Love comes in when a character in a work declares that they are not going to enter matrimony unless they have chosen and love the other person first.

To them, there's no point in entering a life long relationship unless they can actually stand their spouse.

This epiphany may occur when someone brings up the option of an Arranged Marriage or simply the fact that the character in question is still single. They may or may not have already found their betrothed at this point in the story.

Usually associated with female characters, but rarely (if ever) with males. This may result in a Runaway Fiancé, when the character runs away to get out of marriage.

Examples

 * Subverted in Corpse Bride. In their Arranged Marriage, Victor and his bride-to-be hit it off immediately while her parents are only marrying into the family, because they have nothing.
 * Princess Jasmine don't want to marry a prince, because if she does get married, she want it to be love than beauty and money.
