'''Romantic idealization''' refers a naive conception of the significance of "true love", spiritual kinship, individual choice, [[beauty|aesthetics]] etc. for relationship satisfaction, motivating men's [[courtship]] and pair-bonding behavior.

Furthermore, [[arranged marriage]]s do not differ from "love marriages" in terms of relationship satisfaction, and they actually last longer.
