Why does society force a rule that we should marry for romance?

[HollyK21]

I mean this in the most non-rude way possible, but who’s telling you who you can love and marry? I don't know about you, but I never felt that I was “forced” to do anything because of society. Of course marriage is romanticized because that’s what it usually is based upon — a loving union between two people. Loveless or romantic-less weddings absolutely happen, though, especially for religious reasons. I’ve never seen anyone look down their noses on these people. If anything there’s a sense of pity when like arranged marriages happen, but 9/10, those who feel bad aren’t from that cultural background and don’t understand traditions.

Listen hon. No one is forcing you to marry for romance. Did you try to get your marriage license and the court declined because your relationship is just platonic? Did society scream at you to not get married? Obviously not!

How is anyone forcing you to do anything?

Because the family is the small structure that forms the society. To be a family, you have to get married. Having a marriage outside of wedlock and having children out of wedlock should not be welcome.

Where does it say you have to marry for romantic love?
