In Meghan Trainor’s “Dear Future Husband” video, she is singing an anthem to her potential “future husband.” She describes different scenarios and expectations set for him as her potential husband. She repeats the line if you want to be my one and all my life. She is possessive when she says this line and is emphasizing her choice for a man in her life. Bell Hooks in her article, Romance: Sweet Love, writes that love is a deliberate decision and an act of will. Meghan Trainor proves this idea in her video, while she goes on dates with several different guys. Meghan labels the men she does not want/approve of, as “fails.” She is expressing her act of will and decision to find the perfect guy. Emma Goldman, in her article Marriage and Love, states that marriage and love have nothing in common. …show more content…
The song is confirming Goldman’s theory. Trainor says things that are more affectionate and intimate throughout the song, but not having to do with actual love in marriage. Heather Corinna, in Yes Means Yes, mentions that female desire is missing in relationships, it mainly focuses on a man’s sexual desire. Meghan Trainor insinuates male desires a bit in the song. She is indirectly implying a sexual favor could be exchanged for opening the door for her. She is also being sexy in the video by touching herself when she dances and there is a scene where she is scrubbing the kitchen floor trying to be sexy. In both instances, she is appealing to a man’s desire. To highlight romance and love, there are hearts throughout the video as well as many items of the colors pink and red, symbolizing

Every 13 seconds, couples in America get divorced (Palacios). What is pushing these couples to get married if half of the marriages fail anyway?

“My love, she keeps me warm.” Without context, these song lyrics have no impact or power behind them. However, if told that these words were sung by a female vocalist, and preceded by the lyrics “I can’t change, even if it tried, even if I wanted to,” suddenly the words have meaning as a woman sings of her love for another woman (Haggerty, Lewis, Lambert, 2102). These lyrics come from the 2012 song “Same Love” by Macklemore with Ryan Lewis and featuring Mary Lambert. In the song “Same Love,” Macklemore raises his voice against the issues of discrimination, gay rights, and marriage equality that we see in today's era. He uses two fallacies in the song, but Macklemore’s use of the three rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos in his song “Same Love,” have a great level of success in proving the importance of gay rights and marriage equality.
In today’s society, there is nothing that is seen as a perfect marriage. Love and hate are both closely intertwined in our brain, making them the two most intense emotions. It is bazar to think that one can go from loving someone to hating (disliking) that certain individual, or from hating (disliking) that individual to falling mad in love with them. Society creates a barrier that makes one believe on what a loving relationship should be. In many occasions negativity and other factors come to play in a loving relationship. Even though love can over power hate, hate and other negatives can come out at the starting point of love because of infidelity, resentment, and other disappointments in a relationship.

In the article, “The Radical Idea of Marrying for Love” author Stephanie Coontz argues that love is not a good enough reason to get married. People shouldn’t marry just because they love one another, Coontz suggests that perhaps marriage should be based on how well a couple gets along and whether or not if the significant other is accepted by the family. One will notice in the article that Coontz makes it very clear that she is against marrying because of love. In the article is a bit of a history lesson of marriage and love within different cultures from all over the world. Coontz then states her thesis in the very end of the article which is that the European and American ways of marriage is the

In her article “Getting Married Is Not An Accomplishment” author Natalie Brooke makes the simple point that, marriage is not an accomplishment (Par.3). She supported this with several different statements. She first explained that still today marriage is “put on a higher pedestal” for women than academic successes or careers (Par. 6).

Fairfax, “Marriage is one of the core values of society. Almost 20 years ago, the well renowned black scholar and psychologist Dr. Na’im Akbar (1991) penned the following: ‘‘marriage is such an important lesson in manhood (womanhood) development. It is no wonder that every society requires some form of it’’ (p. 13).” This coincides with the values that I stated above that were considered important in my culture. Marriage is important to more that my culture obviously but in my culture there is always this well-known quote from the bible: “He who finds a wife, finds a good thing (NKJV Proverbs 18:22).
