if not the only product of love. Without marriage, there is no long-term commitment or base for love, which makes love so uncertain, insecure and vulnerable. The consequences are there will be no family and no legitimate offsprings provided people choose to avoid out-of-wedlock births at all. To me marriage is the only proof and evidence for love. Of course sometimes marriage does not work out due to "Force Majeure" or whatever reasons That is perfectly ok. You get out and move on. Hopefully next time you have better luck.
Read my lips: Love without marriage does not last long (relatively long).
