[Community, have an uncomfortable looking Tidus. He's frowning to himself pensively, but then it turns more angry. His head snaps up as he looks into the screen.]

I've got a question! Why do you think people should marry? I mean, shouldn't it be about love?

[ watches him for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts so that she doesn't make him even more angry ]

Usually it is. Unless it's an arranged marriage, then it's for entirely different reasons.

I do hope that you aren't the one getting married anytime soon.

Would a marriage to give the place you live at hope be included in the arranged marriage category?

No way! Not me. It's someone I know.

...Probably so. Well I-- I think, my friends got married a long time ago for stability. And there was one that was married so that there would be peace with the neighboring country that they were at war with.

I was just curious. You're a bit young to be married already.

Gaah! It's useless! It's all useless!!

[video] okay i'm done

[lovescowtits.livejournal.com]

Just the question I've been looking to solve! Aah~! I'm getting so excited just thinking about it!

Of course you marry out of love, what other reason could there be? The girl having big tits and a nice body also factors in, remember that!

...You okay?

[dontcrysammy.livejournal.com]

It should definitely be about love, in my opinion.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

I thought so too. Why would someone spend their life with someone they didn't even care about?

[yagyu-nasuti.livejournal.com]

[The fellow seems upset. She had to be careful not to give too much of an opinion without coating it with a gentle disclaimer.]

It depends on the culture, really. In some cultures, marriage is primarily a means by which to produce and raise children together. In others, love is the driving cause. In others, it's a political alliance between two families symbolized by the unity of two unmarried children.

To say what marriage "should" be depends on the individuals in question's cultural identity. I wouldn't personally definite what "should" or "should not" be unless taking that into consideration.

...personally.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

Can't a culture be wrong sometimes? She's already famous and put on a pedestal. She's already sending their dead for them and going to beat Sin. What more do they want?

I get that it's apart of their culture, or else they wouldn't treat it so normally. But...

[croibhristeoir]

Ideally, it would be for love and love alone. But there are many reasons, political motivations being among the most common. Arranged marriages were not unusual where I come from, though I can not speak for every world.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

Is it really that common? I'm not used to it. There were some people in Zanarkand like that but it was for different reasons.

[aragosfav.livejournal.com]

Most marriages tended to be arranged and the couple in mind didn't have an opinion to it. In most cases, these were arranged in advance. These marriages were a means to better the family and to keep the family going. A marriage centered around love was rarely heard of. Most couples tend to grow to love one another over time.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

What about the couples who don't fall in love over time? What about the couples who hate eachother?

[antibadstuff.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a little uh.. young, to be getting worried about that stuff already?

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

I thought so, but he went ahead and asked her anyway. Gave some pretty speech about the bond that would save the world and a bunch of other crap.

[unlikely-spread.livejournal.com]

Yes, ideally.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

But?

[candace-flynn.livejournal.com]

Of course it should be about love.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

I think so too! They don't even know eachother that well, and, and it's just a bad idea!

[yacantdoitkid.livejournal.com]

You're too young.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

It's Yuna, not me.

[material_guy]

My detective said it was about celebrating some kinda love thing and a promise not to fuck other people with a buncha people who know 'em both. Like a public shame thing. It's like you two gotta stay together or everyone'll see yer failure. So it's kinda like a game of chicken or Truth or Dare where both end up following a dare to stay together!

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

So there aren't any feelings behind it?
