The concept of true love has been around for a long time but ever since centuries ago until only recently, marriage has always been for practical reasons. In the medieval days, marriage is for strengthening political and business alliances. Even 40 years ago, marriage is for the woman to get financial security and for the man to get himself descendents.
I know that may sound sad, but this is the harsh reality. Even today, there are many 30-something year-old women around the world who marry simply because they might never get another opportunity. If it's of any consolation to you, you're not the only one. Personally for me, if I don't love her, I would rather be single for the rest of my life. But that's just me.
