See, this doesn’t bother me too much, but I do see your point. In actuality, loving someone is a constant choice, so I can see it working. If you study the stats, arranged marriages do NOT break up more than those of choice. I think it’s an interesting topic, though. I’d like to explore more, do you have any titles to suggest with this as a theme?
