Challenge #4: All About Love?

"Marriage is about love, not children."

Even if marriage is motivated by love, it is not defined by love. If it were, then billions of people in the world who thought they were married are not. Most marriages have been arranged and many today lack love, yet they are no less marriages.

The state does not care if the bride and groom love each other. No proof of passion is required. Love may be the reason many get married, but it isn’t the reason cultures sanction marriage.
