I didn't read any of this, I'm just replying to the original post...
People get married many times for reasons other than love...such as their economic situation, how many kids they have, their education, where they live, who they can get to marry them...and TAX BREAKS.
Not to say people don't get married for "true love," but I bet most people don't. Most people don't even fucking know what that is.
You don't need to "marry" someone just because you love them. If you have to have ownership over another human being then the relationship was fucking doomed from the beginning anyway. I mean FUCK, even the FUCKING Bible says a lot of people SHOULD NOT get married. Go figure none of the fucking Christians read that part or thought it was talking about them! Fuckin retards.
