“In your great-grandparents’ heyday, relationships were more about raising a family and making a living than love.”
Drivel.
The author may say some good things, but starting with that drivel questions his credibility.
Too many people read something or other about “the way it was”, in former times, think they are stating something that is a verifiable fact, and just believe it; and then repeat it themselves, as if it is a given that everyone understands is true.
It’s nonsense.
Traditional Marriage was an economic contract between two families.
American marriage is none of that. It is a scam to turn men into slaves.
