[QUOTE="LL, post: 84608, member: 95"] Marriage is a legal construct created for financial reasons (primarily to allow for the tracking and passing of property from generation to generation). It has nothing to do "love" or "passion" in the Western sense. Many cultures---Japan is a good example---look at our attempts to combine business with pleasure as laughable. The reason the Western version rarely lasts (and when it does the parties are more often than not staying together for convenience & lack of other options), is because [i]h. Sapiens[/i] is hard wired otherwise. As an evolutionary survival/reproduction strategy monogamy sucks, and our DNA never stops trying to tell us that. [/QUOTE]
