How the Assembly Line Destroyed Love

Repetition is damaging to our bodies....
The constant stress associated with doing the same thing over and over again, is daunting and depressing, to say the least.
The invention of the assembly line meant fast products for eager consumers, and the invention meant that we could mass produce poorer quality's of what the model product was intended to be.....
we were replicating things and making things easier, losing out on quality, and customization, face time, and the love that goes into craftsmanship.....

Our love can get VERY repetetive. It can seem like the same old assemblyline, cookie-cutter mass produced product that has been created to temporarly satisfy an urge.

What has happened to the craftsmanship of love. What has happened to the process of imagining a love so deep, developing the parts, selecting only the best materials, using intricate and detailed molds, and hand-crafting something strong enough to withstand a lifetime?
This is the love I have imagined.

Shake it up, do something different!!! Doing the same thing over and over again is lame, to say the least.
The assembly-line is perfect for the Industrial Revolution, but bad for the business of having a fulflling relationship. Stop applying an old mold to a new model, and put some tender loving care into caefully crafting a work of art in love.

In our modern age of Facebook dating, Match.com marriages, and the immediacy of having all sorts of information at our disposals at all times, and images of people we desire to possess at our disposal at all times, the idea of taking our 'time' to complete something, seems daunting.
But, it is crucial, if we long for something more than what the assembly-line has to offer.
