I think most marriages stay together out of tradition, obligation, and fear. I think love and lust are interchangeable and that both die. And in the end all you are left with a big pile of memories and responsibilities. I guess these temporary feelings (love or lust whatever you wish to call it) are necessary to keep the human race reproducing. It is also necessary that societies boast about those feelings making it seem like "oh when you find this then you will live happily ever after, no more worries" so that people will not see the reality and thus as a result of finding that love is temporary live immoral lives having sex with multiple partners. So I guess it benefits humans to be ignorant to the reality that love doesn't exist. Also they would probably cease to reproduce as much if they knew that love was a temporary feeling. I don't think that monogamy is normal for humans. I think monogamy is healthy and rational however. If I was to be perfectly honest I don't desire marriage. It just seems boring, empty, and overrated.

Of course I can't say for sure that these theories I have written above are even close to true. I am only 20 yrs old and have only had one serious relationship. Maybe I have never experienced such things as love. Although I love my bf, it is not in the way in which hollywood love stories make love seem like between lovers. I don't go crazy at the sight of him. I love him in the way that I respect him and wish for him to be happy in his life. I love him in the same way I love my family members. I only wish good things upon him but I don't feel about him the same way Juliet felt for Romeo. I would not drink the poison lol. I don't know. What do you think?

Marriage isn't the fairly tale that its cracked up to be but it's not a horror movie either.It's a phase you may (or may not) pass through in life but i don't think you or anyone else would want to be single and "dating" at age 50.

Agreed, too many people go into marriage without thinking about it properly, they are not prepared to work HARD for their marriage at times and file for divorces at the slightest and minor problems, it's like, was there actually any point?
