Marriage based on “love” is a fairly new phenomenon. I am beginning to think the arranged marriage thing has merit.
Possibly even deeper than that is the concept of "love" as an emotion. Modern folk believe that love is an emotion in that it is fleeting. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13 all of the Christian virtues of love and in keeping with that list, love is work. It is probably the most rewarding work ever, but it is work nonetheless and in a fallen world, driven by instant gratification, the Christian concept of love is lost in translation.
