Marriage, yes
Love, no LMAO
There are no romance in the plays of ancient times because marriage is seen as a business transaction.
Every family belongs to a clan, and the patriarch decides who marries whom.
Then came Jesus barrelling in with the words
"He who loves his family more than me is not worthy of me"
He kicked off a radical movement wherein daughters and sons would abandon their clans to be with the Church, and thus, created their own families with the person they personally chose.
It is absolutely noticeable in the historical record when this happened.
Every royal family can trace their lineage all the way to the gods.
But when Christians came, every person is their own family. No lineage, no clan. Just themselves living for themselves.
Clans never appeared again until Feudal era wherein local Lords had to record the people under him in order to know who is welcome in his castle during times of unrest

You don't seem to understand what the verse
>And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us.
mean
God made each person in a specific time and place for a reason
The Church upholds the dogma that even the ones of a different religion can be save *so long as they pursue their mission
If you already know Christ, your mission is to live according to his will
If you do not know Christ, your mission is to seek him
This doesn't mean that other religions are equally as valid. It means that all who prays earnestly recognizes that they are not the ones in charge and are on their own respective journeys to seek God.
The fact that they have the wrong answer doesn't mean they aren't trying to find it. Heaven is not a reward to those with the right answer. It is a gift to those who want to be with God. Their duty is to find him

His design was for creatures who could decide whether to accept him or reject him
It was the decision of our ancestors to reject him. Thus, it also rejects his protection
And thus, we became vulnerable to death and disease
The fact that Jesus spent his entire time healing and reviving proves that this is NOT his desire.
Children born in a state of suffering are unfair. But, in God's eyes, their only mission is to suffer. And those who suffer for their sake shall be rewarded greatly.
In essence, they are Heaven's towline whos only job is to let others latch onto them before they return.
PS
The ones who complain the most about "suffering" tend to be the ones who live the most pampered lives
Get some actual suffering before you whine about it

Matthew 24 is about the destruction of the temple and the death of the Old Covenant
You are misinterpreting it as the End Times
> the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory
This is not a physical thing. There is nothing in Matthew 24, 34, and 36 saying that it is going to be physical
To start with, sun, moon, and stars, in the Bible means "Principalities, Dominions, and Powers" in the divine realm
This means that God shall lift his protection of Israel and let them be destroyed, as they decided
Secondly, it says "sign of the Son of Man" , not actual physical body. The Sign here being the Romans who have heard of God and are now being used as the instrument of his Judgement
And lastly, "send forth His angels" are also often used to refer to human agents (Matthew 11 calls John the Baptist as the messenger sent by God)
tl;dr.
Matthew was about the end of the old covenant. It is not about Judgement day, yet.
Judgement is on Revelation
