Motivations for choosing a partner

I think it's interesting about Doña Irene's motivations about finding a husband for her daughter. I think it would be so weird about marrying for money and not for love, although some people think that's part of the reason to love someone. Francisca is so much younger than Diego and that in itself is odd, because she's only 16 and he's almost 60, that's older than my dad. It is said that women often mature at a faster rate than men, but if a man is 60 and has never married I would begin to think something's wrong with him and he may never be mature enough to handle a relationship. All Diego wants is a women to obey him and take care of him when he gets older because he doesn't want to die alone. I think that the way the play ended was the best for everyone in the end. Diego is not going to die alone, Francisca and Carlos got to get married and they were the ones truly in love, their first child is going to be named after Diego and Irene is going to get the money and Francisca will be married into the rich family. I am lucky to be in the era that I'm in where I'm allowed to choose my own partner and choose them for what I believe is the correct reason for choosing partner and spending the rest of my life with him.
