I believe "One True Love" is a bit of a myth. Through most of
human culture, marriages were arranged things. Even among the
rich in all countries in the West, and in the US South, a form
of arranged marriages has always gone on.
Accidental Love that leads to partnership is a nice modern myth.

financial and/or political motives is the norm among humans.
Gold-digging is a result of women not having the social
structure to support the process, that's all. That doesn't make
it a pleasant thing to face bluntly, but it's normal.
