I'm only speaking for myself, not the entire West. But yeah, there is a growing tendency for love to be something you grow into as you learn to live in the world, rather than a serious part of learning to live in the world within a committed relationship and a large extended family.

Tell us more from your experience - you don't have to look it up. My middle eastern relatives have arranged marriages (that have been working out brilliantly). Their attitude towards love is very different from mine.
