Marriage is a downer, a bummer, the pits. One out of two marriages end in divorce. Marriage should be chunked into the dust bin of history as a failed and outmoded institution. The rational person realizes that marriage is the end of one socially, intellectually, financially and every other way. Marriage is an expensive way to have free sex.
Love dies, whether fulfilled or unfulfilled.
It is impossible for a couple to be truly happy and permanently in love. That a couple would stand before a minister and pledge eternal love is sheer madness. One may find true love on a honeymoon. Remember the movie The Heartbreak Kid . While the bride was forced to stay in the motel room due to severe sunburn, the groom found the love of his life poolside.
