I say marriage doesn’t equal love. It’s all an illusion. People settle for what they can get or what’s convenient for them. They also marry because society tells them to. That’s why you have 50% of marriages ending in divorce. I dare say at least another 25% are just so set in their ways and get along just enough that they tolerate each other for the rest of their days. Not to mention those who fear being alone in their old age and think they can’t find anyone else. Some stay together merely for the benefit of their children. Maybe 25% are actually in love or what they believe is love, but it’s most likely not their true soul mate love because it would be impossible for two such people to meet on a huge planet. Not to mention whose to say they were even born in the right time frame, or on this planet to begin with.
In addition whose to say love even exists or at least exists for the majority of people on this planet? The truth is people usually get together because they are sexually attracted to each other and might also have some things in common as well which lead to marriage. Whose to say it just isn’t a biochemical thing in the brain and over time the addition of comfortable familiarity solidifies their belief that they are in love. Lets face it if their supposed love looked like Frankenstein I doubt they’d be together even though that person would still be the same in their mind, heart, and soul.
