In the article "Historically Incorrect Canooding" by Stephanie Coontz talks about how the day "Valentine's Day" mean has changed over years. The article also talks about how marriage has change and how different it is.

In the article had stated many different points about marriage and about the true meaning of Valentine's Day. For example the article had stated that, "For thousands of years,love, passion, and marriage were considered a rare and usually undesirable combination. Valentine's Day was originally created by the Roman Catholic Church as a limit on sexual passion." another example that was stated was, "Even though young people centuries later turned the hoilday into an occasion to celebrate romantic love and sexual attraction, few of them expected to marry on the basis of such irrational emotions."

After reading this article I became very glad that the times had change because people was having arranged marriages and they was not happy with the person they was arrange with. It was like they had to settle for less when the deserve much more in a person then what they had. I also found it sad that females didnt have a chance to fall in love with somebody they would love to marriage. I also found it sad because the two people that was paired together didnt want to be in the relationship and they wasnt truly happy and in love with eachother. I glad that in 2013 I would be able to be with the person I love, care for, and that I am passionate about, somebody that I would like to have children with  and that I can myself spenting the rest of my live with. I'm also glad because when I choose somebody to marry I would had a chance to get to know and meet him in person first. I also like the meaning of Valentine's Day in 2013 because it seems so much better and more positive than what it ment back then now.

This article makes me think of my aunt and unce relationship because it seem like they just had settle with eachother like these people had too. They have 3 kids now but they dont seem like they love eachother because when they is in public they isnt passionate with eachother. I never had ever seen them kiss or even tell eachother they loved eachother. But I have seen them fuss over stupid things like whick one of them was going to drive or who was going to stay up with the baby. From being a outsider and looking in at their marriage I choose to not get marriage and if i do i would have better communication with my partner and we would be more loving towards eachother. We would also be better parents towards our children.
