I know some good marriages - marriages where both people are just trying to get through their days by helping each other, being good to each other

Sometimes it was worth all the disadvantages of marriage just to have that: one friend in an indifferent world

There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship /only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.

We are finally driven to monogamy not by morality but by exhaustion

Men and women, women and men, It will never work.

Activist judges are trying to institutionalize a lie that marriage is just about big people relationships, but they forget the little people, the whole generation of kids who will struggle with this terrible precedent.
