[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a weird societal pressure where people want to refer to their legally recognized partnerships as "marriage".

In reality, the marriage devolves into a glorified roommate relationship.  What these people really want is to treat privilege like a buffet line while ignoring the hard work and responsibility that comes with it. Sure, they want the stability (especially economic) that comes with "marriage" but they don't want to put in the hard work to create intimacy and passion. Rather than work hard to achieve sexual and emotional intimacy, they throw their hands up, declare their wedding vows to be the problem and satisfy themselves with the endorphin release of "excitement" from a new "partner".  All the while they still want to call it "marriage". [/quote]

To be what you call a "marriage," BOTH partners have to be willing to put in the hard work. If only one of them is, where does that leave the other one?[/quote]

Boom!  True.  I hope the PP responds.  All of the theory is great, but marriage requires fidelity for some, but should ideally also incorporate effort, a team attitude, and decent and respectful communication.  [/quote]
