Bear in mind that back in those days (medieval times, where the Wizard of Id and Hagar the Horrible supposedly lived!), your wife (or husband) was chosen FOR you by your family; whether you liked her (him) OR NOT! Truly a Lose-Lose proposition! The motivation was usually money or prestige (such as it was, anyway!). And so don’t expect any love in a medieval marriage; chances are, it wouldn’t be there!
