When did the "marriage is about love" meme really

After World War 2

It's a good meme, desu. Finally people can actually constitute a healthy family without hating each other or merely tolerating themselves.

The Anglo language is inherently vulgar and incomplete. Languages such as Greek have multiple words to describe different kinds of love. Some types of love where always involved with marriage. Not necessarily romantic love, however.

Courtly love probably
its been a thing in the lower classes for a long time

Nigger divorces are only increasing.

This. Individuals being capable of providing for themselves was a mistake.

This. the idea that marriage could be about MORE than love is the innovation, and that dates from no earlier than when humans began to settle down and accumulate wealth.

>people supposing that it occurred some time after the latter half of the 11th century when courtly neoplatonic love became codified which is the LATEST possible period to suppose full-blooded considerations regarding higher love, and that is if we think that we should discount accounts from antiquity
