Marriage is a cult and a scam.
Sure, you can be married and happy, but you could have been without being married.
Like the morg, the whole thing is based on fantasy. Somehow you can just promise to love each other forever and voila, it will happen, even when hormones fade and interests change over time.
And somehow you think you will get free stuff, like sex and money or home repairs or cooking, or whatever. Then you find out you have to do things to earn that, or they aren't interested.
The fantasy starts with the wedding. How many billions are spent every year on an absolutely useless exercise.
My SIL had some money while working in Alaska. Spent $35,000 on the wedding to his first wife in his early twenties, and it lasted 1.5 years until she was screwing another guy. He married my daughter 4 years ago at a place that charged $100, and they're doing fine.
But don't tell that to the wedding industry.
Along with them, there is the multi-billion dollar divorce industry (counselors, lawyers, judges, courts, etc).
Yep, impossible to love each other without that.
I noted above the idea that married women are the least happy. That is what I have observed. Simply because they view their man as a man views his job - a source of income. And most men don't like their jobs either, and are looking for something better, or looking forward to retirement (or for the wife, when hubby dies).
I've heard so many comments from women relatives over the years, including my mom, about their husbands, who are oblivious to how their wives really feel about them. At least until some of them were served divorce papers.
Much of this became clear after I was threatened with divorce when having problems with church and making money. Still married after 35 years, but the fantasy is long gone.
Funny how many will support one fantasy while bashing another (morg). They are all big lies.
