Why is love considered more important than marriage?

Because historically marriage was an exchange of property owned by men, yet another way of controlling women. The brainwashing of little girls into thinking that marriage is special and meaningful by society is one of the greatest deceptions of the modern age, if you ask me, which I assume you did because you're on the podium.

Love, on the other hand, is real. From what I have been led to understand by those who have felt that particular emotion.
