Have you noticed this? Now-a-days, love is so calculated and examined, that teens and people are afraid to tell their significant other that they are in love.
in the past, you hear stories about how a couple met, and the guy instantly knew he found the right girl. 6 months later, they are married and stay married til they die.
I worked at a old peoples home and I did a look into this for a school project and over 85% of the old people there were like that.why has it changed?
simple.
a deadly combination of the feminist movement and the wussification of men thanks to the mass media.
money
Love hasn't changed. People are just freer to make decisions regarding their happiness now than they were in the past and didn't have the luxury of such a freedom. In effect people are afforded much greater personal freedoms now than in the past, including being much financially and culturally freer to seek out love. Marriage was as much a financial arrangement and expectation as it was about finding companionship.
People don't feel the same need to stay married and make-do with someone that they aren't all that happy with. Instead they leave and search out someone that they feel will make them happy. They aren't locked into non-beneficial marriages for the sole reason that they cannot financially justify leaving and don't suffer the same moral scorn they may have in earlier times for marriage abandonment. People just have the extraordinary ability to find happiness out of necessity, and make the best of their situation.

The personal freedoms people are afforded now are much greater in the past
