We think about love all the time. At this age in our lives we constantly think about "Is this the one?" "Am I going to marry this man." And the pressure is on. There is no rule saying not getting married is just unacceptable for people in our society. But in an age of reality TV, you'd think that is the case. Just flipping through the channels you come across all the different shows devoted to finding people their soul mate, on Love Broker she even says every needs to be in love we all need to find somebody. And the list goes on; A Shot at Love, Rock of Love, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Match Maker. Our TVs are crowded with these show that fill our heads with the idea that marriage is where we all need to be heading. Common theories of marriage don't necessarily play a part in American culture. The idea of love and marriage has become a way to increase ratings on our TV and in doing so has created a pressure in our society that we HAVE to fall in love and we HAVE to get married, because everyone else is.
