It is a rather silly convention that says love has to last forever. Marriage makes more sense if you are simply finding someone to procreate with. The pair are bonded with whatever religious ceremony, they mate, they have children, the man supports financially, the woman supports with manual labour at home. That's a fine business agreement.
When you bring love into it, you throw all those priorities (financial stability, procreation) out of whack. Suddenly they are subject to how MUCH you love each other AT THAT MOMENT. Imagine if businesses were run that way! The world would collapse!
Love is changeable and it comes and goes. To try to tie it down and say, "now that we've done the marriage ceremony, we will love each other forever" is rather near-sighted and pointless.
And that's my point of view for today.
