You're assuming that everyone cares about their families more than they care about all the voters put together.

You have a pretty cynical view of marriage. The percent of people who get married that don't love or care for each other is very small, imo. Now, they may lose those feelings later but it would be up to them to do the honest thing and get a divorce and not be an oath breaker. Maybe they still do care but got caught up in the moment or let their feelings go down avenues that shouldn't be taken.
Point is, you aren't as important as their family is to them. So what's stopping them from cheating you?
