And I won't even touch 'convenient' marriages... Those were marriage in a legal, technical, on-paper sense... If there is no love, can it truly be marriage? I am unsure.

Under your belief in a "higher power" if that power is a government, then it would be a marriage. How do you measure love? How can a government tell if a person loves another person?
So, depending on YOUR religious beliefs how do you see the couple as being united?
