The writer/philosopher Kierkegaard, ever the smart-ass, wrote that the single man bemoans his lack of a wife and then the married man bemoans the fact that he has one. A life lived without any regret is the life of a sociopath.
While arranged marriages were flirtatiously and coyly discussed during the courtship fad at the old church scene nobody wanted for even a second to actually give up the ideal of mutual butterflies and twitterpation. Even in a setting like ancient Israel mutual affection and attraction were held to be wonderful enough to be the topic of a set of erotic poems. Although the detail about the poems being erotic literature but that Christians shouldn't be reading erotica may yet prove the subject of another installment in a laconic review of Real Marriage.
That and the topic of bitterness in the best-seller in comparison to the topic of bitterness in somebody's lengthy discourse on spiritual warfare.
