How many "love-based" marriages are born from a fear of solitude, of status rituals, of a preference for the familiar eccentricities of one rather than a full-range of oddities from strangers (a.k.a. dating), "This isn't love, but it's the best I can do," etc? Love happens. Ditto desperation and fear. But we'd rather not speak of them, better to say "love."
