That’s generally how it’s been done in America for hundreds of years. I think peasants in Europe did it like that even further back too. So how long until it can be considered “tradition”?
Rich families married for power, peasants married for love. That’s pretty much how it’s always been. Lmao do you think people who worked on a lords farm was also worrying about who their daughter could marry to get a leg up? That’s ridiculous
If you think peasants married for just love and not because their father promised them to the son of a farmer they have dealings with, or to a businessman who can provide well for her, or to elevate the family standing in some other way, I have bad news.
Even to this day, after all the strides for equality of the sexes is the material wealth of a man a substantial factor in choosing a partner for most women, even if they are plenty able to provide for themselves.
I didn’t say “just for love” but it did happen. None of this information provided contradicts my point that traditionally people have sex with people they like. That has been the case for a while now, back to my original question, how long until you would consider it tradition? 100 years seems enough to me
Traditional was so, so much worse than that
