Clearly, there is no love involved in their relation since Ancient Greeks did not marry out of love, but out of convenience.

The topic of Celibacy and those that practice it has been subject to ridicule and/or misunderstanding for quite some time. However, this is a subject that has been forced to become more relevant.
