[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Tora Regina quoted: "If we're going to declare marriages to be about love, then make it so." You know, I haven't thought about it in a long time but I'm pretty sure that it's a rather modern development, looking at history. I'm not sure the God of the Bible would define marriage as "a union that should be made when two people love eachother". I get the impression that it's a bit understated, anyway. I mean, what with all the marrying for political, diplomatic and power-gaining motives (getting land or riches from the girl's parents in exchange for becoming a member of your house), I think the modern, generally accepted notion of marriage as a sweet, romantic entity got widespread rather late. Say, 1500's and forward. What do you people think? [/QB][/QUOTE]
