A lot of people don't know anything about that kind of love, though. They take marriage too lightly.
I don't know if I would say they take marriage lightly, but I think people marry usually because "its time" or they don't want to end up alone. In either case they are marrying for the wrong reasons, conformity to societal norms or fear of being alone. Peer presure and fear are both the wrong answer to "why did you get married" the only right answer "we are in love"
