While I agree with your sentiment that love and commitment should be the foundation of any marriage, it's important to note that societal and cultural norms often play a significant role in shaping our understanding of institutions like marriage. For instance, in many societies, marriage is viewed as a union for procreation and the continuation of lineage. This view may not align with the more liberal perspective of marriage as solely based on love and commitment.
Take, for example, societies where arranged marriages are prevalent. In these societies, marriage is often seen as a union between two families, not just two individuals, and love and commitment are expected to develop over time.
Given your viewpoint, how would you propose we address these cultural differences in the understanding and purpose of marriage? Would a universal definition of marriage be practical or even possible?
