Romeo and Juliet is still popular today because it deals with themes as relevant now as in Shakespeare's time. Love, jealousy, revenge... all of it still goes on today. The hopeless love of Romeo and Juliet happens to everyone, whether its "My family is in a fued with his, so they won't let us be together" or "That cute guy doesn't know I exist." Everyone feels this way, and even though the characters talk differently, they are saying the same things we say.

How does the marriage views of Romeo and Juliet marriage contrast to the marriages we have today?

It is not clear that the marriage views of everyone today are the same. And it is not clear at all that Romeo and Juliet's marriage was typical of their time (whatever that was) either. Contrast Romeo and Juliet's views on marriage with those of Capulet, or even more so, of Paris. For Paris, marriage was a commercial transaction: he wanted "the chinks" and made a deal with Juliet's father. Or contrast Juliet's views with those of the Nurse. The Nurse had the "easy marriage, easy divorce" attitude: if Juliet's marriage with Romeo wasn't working out, it was time to move on. This is a not uncommon attitude these days. Romeo and Juliet pledged themselves to each other for their lives and beyond death. That was an unusual attitude then, and it still is, but it is not unheard of.
