I think marriage is whatever you make of it. You don't need a white dress and fancy party. You don't need to follow strange quotes like "the other half of me". You can be just as much of an *******. Whatever you want, just like non-married life. I believe it is natural, a rite of passage. I am very strongly pro life and pro marriage goes hand in hand.
I can understand other people's viewpoints, wanting to explore and improve from a solitary perspective. Life just seems so throwaway though if you can just hit the restart button though?
