I get the impression from the general tone of the gemoras
(kesuvos/yevamos/sotah/etc) that
the nature of the husband/wife relationship (in those days) was more
'business-like'

ie the husband provides A&B and the wife provides C&D. 
and if not; here's your kesuva and goodbye

..you get sick; here's your kesuva and goodbye
..he doesn't get what he wants; here's your kesuva and goodbye

I don't see a tone of the modern vision of marriage of
..love forever no matter what / until death do us part /etc
