 Falling in Love
The basic story went something like this: A boy and a girl meet and fall in love. They spend most of their time together, usually without other friends along, getting to know one another better. Soon, they marry, go on a honeymoon, and move into an apartment. Later, they buy a home. The husband goes to work every morning and comes home every evening, the wife tends to the children and the household duties. They live happily ever after. It still works just that way -- sometimes.
Marriages aren't always the natural result of falling in love. People marry for other reasons, even in the United States, where romance generally precedes a wedding. A family might arrange a marriage for business or financial reasons, a king might marry a queen from another country to form a political unit and to solidify power, a young woman from a foreign country might take an American husband to avoid deportation.
