Valentines Day


                In the article ‘historically incorrect canoodling’ it talks about how people are the most romantic on valentine’s day and any other time everyone is just trying to have sex hooking up at clubs. Also it talked about how back in the day like before 1800 people married for a person’s wealth or they had arranged marriages and today people marry for love, the marriages are freely chosen, and there are a lot more divorces today. I think that not too long ago was really the best marriages because people were really in love like the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. It was bad back in the day, but it got better and worse because people are still just marrying for money and now everyone is just having sex. It’s ironic because back in the day they thought it was a sin to have sex unless you were trying to reproduce, you could not do it for pleasure. And in the article it says back then a virgin woman was ranked the highest and that concept still exist in a way today because virgin girls are hard to find these days and that’s really what everyone wants most of the time. Nobody wants a girl everybody then had already unless they are just trying to have sex. At least that my opinion on that topic. Valentines Day is the only day most people get romantic and go out with someone they love.

  1. I think you overestimate how much sex thee is today and overestimate love in the previous generation. The teenage pregnancy rate, for example, has been falling for many years.

    What about you? Do you plan to marry for love? Or would you be happy in a not-so-perfect relationship?

    Do you think our expectations for marriage are too high?
