Marriage isn’t about love; that’s a peasant’s fantasy.

fwiw My family lore includes a story where my grandparents married because they were both poor but then my grandmother inherited a (hard clay) farm and needed someone to work it, and my grandfather didn't mind marrying an older woman. I respect that!

but...I can tell the post is in the voice of a noble I think from Game of Thrones so I guess it makes sense in that context.
