I agree with @morreafirebird in the difference between love and attraction. Those are two words that get used interchangeably, in our culture, far more than they should.

And on top of that I think it’s important to remember what @evelyn said: “Two people can love each other but still not be compatible for marriage.” 

As @morreafirebird and @evelyn (and that friend of hers) say, asking your parents is very likely a good start.

A few questions need to be asked… Are these two characters getting married in the end? Or are you just creating a tension there that will lead to another plot point? What is the final destination. Secondly how do they get to that final destination… Because they my show general love for each other, but not be attracted until it’s all said and done. Though they may be attracted to each other and find they don’t want to live with each other for the rest of their lives, but through trial come to get married, and it’s a good thing.

If you can answer these kinds of questions, and think about what would be a healthy relationship that builds up to marriage versus an unhealthy relationship that builds up to marriage, I think that will help you a lot.

Does that help at all? (feel free to ask more specific questions)
