The Truth About Valentine's Day

This Article "Historically Incorrect Canoodling" is about how some Americans are saying that people are separating sex from love and devalue marriage. The author is saying that people are most romantic on Valentine's Day and that we have high expectations of marriage. " For thousands of years, love,passion,and marriage were considered a rare and usually undesirable combination. Valentine's Day was originally created by the Roman Catholic Church as a limit on sexual passion". This quote states that it was a rare for people to each other and wanted to get married. " High expectations of married love can lead to huge disappointments, and free choice means that an individual can refuse to settle for a marriage where love is absent." This quote states that we have high expectations of our marriage life nowadays and that our disappointments can turn into divorces and back in the day people low expectations and they really didn't care about their spouse. I think this article is very interesting because it told us when the day was started why it was started and what people think of the day. Some solutions to the problem is that people can show more love everyday then just Valentine's day. I wonder if people would ever lower there expectations on love and marriage? Are ever going to settle down and make kids for the right reason?
