Is marrying for love a slap in the face of traditional marriage?

For centuries, people had married those who had been designated by their families. The modern myth of ';romantic love'; didn't develop until the 17th century, and is an affront to the centuries of marriage tradition. Everyone knows that marriage is intended to begin not for such trivial reasons as love, but for the more important reasons of family relationships, money, and transferring property.

Most people that marry for ';LOVE'; are really marrying for ';LUST';. Lust is putting your fantasies on some object you don't know. Most people originally are dating in lust %26amp; show the other person what they think will keep them coming back. So neither person get to KNOW the other person, therefore, Lust continues. They get married to an unknown person %26amp; in about 5 years discover if they are in LOVE. It takes time to know someone. Love takes knowing them.
The reason most gays want marriage to be legal is to raid the tax benefits and add their high risk partners onto your insurance so that we may all pay higher rates for their greed and lack of Intelligent lifestyle choices.
