Assalamualaikum everyone

Alright, so....with regards to marriage, it often starts off as arranged but one thing that isn't explained enough for me is the FEELINGS and attraction and its importance in the matter.

Does Islam say that you should marry somebody who you already fell in love with, or would it be more advisable to marry someone with a good character and then let love blossom later on? It makes sense, but what if that love never blossoms and you never end up falling in love with them? Could that indeed be a possibility?

Please share your thoughts on this, jazakhallah!
