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.





I think we should have a constitutional amendment banning all marriages that are not arranged by families to end this abomination that sickos call ';love';.Is marrying for love a slap in the face of traditional marriage?
No, the abomination that is gay marriage is the slap in the face of traditional marriage.Is marrying for love a slap in the face of traditional marriage?
love can not have been started at a certain time in history. that is ignorance. yes, anger can lead to ignorance.





your idea of love either is right or wrong. if you have a perverted idea about love you will pass it on to your children as well. you can not give any one anything if you do not possess it.





and you can not move time back. the world is what it is today. it is such a mix. i know!
LOL





It's simply not true that no one ever married for love until the 17th century.





Romantic love wasn't invented in the 17th century. Read some of the Latin love poetry.
With a question like that, it is no wonder you call yourself a ';Not so great American';





Communist China, India or Iran is missing a citizen, go back please!
