Marriage in the USA:

Emotional Side - centered on love, companionship, mutual help, having and raising children

Practical Side - finances, career, social factors, etc.

What is Love? One Definition:

“Love is…patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

Marriage and Family in the USA:

Trend: the value assigned to marriage and family has dramatically decreased.

Results: people are getting married later in life or not at all, the rate of reproduction has decreased, divorce has become more commonly accepted, the family structure has changed, etc.

Confucius View:

Marriage and family are the foundation of society.

“In the Christian view, married love isn’t mutual self-gratification but mutual self-giving.”

~ Anna Broadway, of BeliefNet.com
