This is our real issue nowadays that marriages (or lifelong partnerships) are only for love. No more marriages out of duty or arrangement.

Not saying I support any kind of arranged marriage or one that is made rather unwillingly.

But this is simply something we have to live with now. Either accept lower populations and birth rates or try to boost them some other way. Boosting them is a lot harder than just giving people more money. Our western cultures hamper relationships and potential offspring.
