Love rarely comes after a man and woman get married but is the product of the initial relationship leading up to marriage. Marriage and love are far apart with their intentions, while marriage is mainly an economic arrangement, love is powerful and not something to be messed with. While marriage is a…

    and ideas people have had before shift to fit the mold of how society is. Today, marriage is seen as a joining together of two people in love who want to spend the rest of their lives together. During the time of Jane Austen, marriage was seen as a picture-perfect life, where two people are joined together, have children, and let their inheritance and reputation be known to the world.

    Marriage, much like prison or slavery, is an institution created by humans. Throughout history marriage has served a much larger purpose than it does in today’s industrial societies. In America, most of us do not consider settling down and starting a family to be an option until we have completed school, acquired employment and found a comfortable social setting in which to “find ourselves.” We have the luxury of easing ourselves into a marriage mindset and preparing ourselves ahead of time.…
