Ah, romantic love. As children into adults we get the ideas of romantic love from books, movies, and songs. Examples of these books and movies are Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Say Anything, Prelude to a Kiss, It Could Happen to You and more. I admit it I'm a sucker for romantic movies especially those 80's ones like Splash. So I warn you in this blog entry I'm going to be biased here. I'm also in a relationship myself that is romantic as you could get.
Now to the point of this blog... is it risky to choose marriage partners only based on romantic love in weak societies? I dare say no it's not. What could make a marriage stronger than having ultimate unconditional love? Marriage is about about forming a union between two people and sure if a problem arises it will affect both the individuals. Yet with unconditional love, it is very likely the marriage will not fall apart and the problem whatever that may be faced will be resolved eventually. Plus if marriages were arranged by economic state rather than love and something happened to the economy then chances are these marriages would fall apart and this would even make the society worse off. This question is complicated though because many people have different ideas of what romantic love is as well as different ideas of marriage.
