Someone once told me that God's only blessing on the poor was that they could marry for love. It seems to be in my family that they married for love (or at least from choice) the first time, but if widowed, then they married expediently. I have quite a few second marriages to relatives pretty quickly after a bereavement and I assume these marriages were head over heart.

I am occasionally surprised by newspaper reports of men being prosecuted for violence or even just shouting, lol, at their wives. This is not my understanding of the society we are led to believe did not value wives at all.
