In sоcieties where peоple repоrt аnd аre encourаged to marry based on the notion of romantic love, sociologists have found that there are many factors beyond love that affect who people come to marry. Identify and discuss the significance of at least three factors that you believe to affect who people marry and why you think those factors have that effect. Finally, consider the extent to which marriages are informally or indirectly arranged within societies that promote marriage on the basis of romantic love.Note: This task does not ask you to reject the notion of love and its role in the formation and sustaining of marriages. Scientific studies of any topic can come off as "cold-hearted," but it is possible to be a romantic while also recognizing the effects of factors beyond love that affect marriage.
