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?
While it is true that in some cultures, ';arranged marriages'; are common, marrying for love has been around a lot longer than the 17th century. Regardless of for love or arranged, marriage is a union of a man and a woman and is a religious institution. I am all for gay couples getting all the same rights, privileges and responsibilities as any other couple, just don't call it marriage or matrimony. In the USA, the Government must not, by the Constitution, define what a marriage is to the Church(es).Is marrying for love a slap in the face of traditional marriage?
