I also love marriage. I could chuck my wife off a bridge some days, and at times she admits she deserves it, but 95% of the time we are having a wonderful time. 9 years married, 14 years together. Apparently a lot of people marry women they don't get along with and then wonder why their marriage sucks. Or have kids to "bring them closer together".

Or have kids to "bring them closer together"

I've seen it, and it's horrifying. Like throwing gas at a fire to see if it goes out, because it's not as though things could get worse if they're wrong.

I hope newer generations manage to ditch older, screwed up ideas of what marriage is and realize the value of having a beloved partner, rather than whatever the hell I see some older people treating their spouses as.

Oh those poor kids. That worries me a heck of a lot more than someone who never even googled "how to relationship"
