I think that it’s way too heteronormative. It trains us to see romantic (and sexual, since we love pairing those things together) relationships above all and make us believe that the only thing that will make us complete and that we can never be fully content without it. I think it’s put on as high of a pedestal that it is to make us reproduce more. 

As an aroace person I do think it’s quite weird, and sexist due to depictions of ‘true love’ always has the couple having children by the end of it. Everything we see, we see for a reason, and that’s the point of ‘romance’ in the eyes of society. Children, as I said before. It’s just odd. People can be perfectly content without romance AND children.
