In Japan, marriage isn't about love. It's about respect and meeting obligations. Happiness isn't part of the requirement. When it happens, so much the better. But what make you and me happy isn't necessarily what makes a Japanese man or woman happy.
In Thailand, marriage isn't about love. It's about survival of the extended family. And the Thais are the smilingest people you'll ever meet!
In the US, many marriages aren't about love. They are about money and prestige. And even then they aren't happy. Only satisfied.
