View submission: Is Buddhism skeptical of romantic relationships?

Karma brings people together. That karma can be good karma but it can also be bad karma. Either way, since it is karma, it will be unavoidable and will be repaid in this life or in future lives. Strong karma causes people to become family.

Anyway, what the relationship is based on is quite important. It should be something long term that does not decay easily with age. Iirc, Buddha says a couple of similar aspiration has a chance of meeting again in the next life. I suppose that is the kind of foundation that is recommended for a lasting relationship.
