love matches
Marriages for affection
Love matches are marriages or romantic pairings based on mutual affection rather than practical considerations like family alliances, social status, or financial arrangement.
The term often appears in historical contexts where arranged marriages were common: Their parents wanted strategic unions, but both daughters made love matches.
A love match emphasizes that the couple chose each other for emotional reasons.
