Rick: Listen Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people calls “love” is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science.

It's a crap shoot. The odds are not in your favor.

It's an ideal, not an illusion. Those two a different things. But it is a mistake to idealize people. Or couples in that matter.

My parents have been married for 35 years. My dad loves my mother, my mother loves what my dad does for her.

It's just hormones that compel you to breed.

Make woman ugly - my kid won't be good looking or healthy

Make guy shorter without money - my kid will be short, won't win mating tournament and me and him won't have comfortable lifestyle

and here comes your true love

Love is only a series of hormones which lasts for a couple years, then after they wear off, if you've had a kid or married her, you're stuck with her.

There numbers aren't really based on anything other than a stab at the divorce rate, but this is my guess at someone chances of a happy marriage...

2 in 100: somehow happy / content, even after the honeymoon phase is over
8 in 100: not really happy or unhappy, but accepting of reality and aware the grass is likely not greener elsewhere
10 in 100: unhappy and restless but put on appearances for others because that's what you do when you're married. Maybe divorce is admitting failure?
15 in 100: cheaper to keep her / where am I likely to find a better ATM at my age?
60 in 100: separated / divorced
5 in 100: one of the spouses dies (or is murdered...)

look at the animals and their breeding patterns/rituals/process. Most of it is dry, fast and emotionless. there are some moments of cuddling in nature and nurturing of the kid. thats probably the best forms of what we think of as love out there. The whole spiritually uplifted notion we made, comes out of those shitty disney movies.

Men love women,

Women love wallets.

Provide a wallet and you get whatever version of "love" they provide. You'll always notice love and sex increases around major purchases, new car, jewelry, etc.

So never do anything like have a life or emotional issue, career change, desire for a different life because you will get screwed over the second the wallet is threatened. Hell even saving money and spending less is usually met with skepticism.

You can only do one thing, get promoted and make more money.

I've had that with women before. It rarely is equal on both sides at the same time, and it is usually short lived. Are there some couples that have that for a longer period of time? Sure. How many married couples do you know that you envy and would want to be in their place?
