And that’s the problem right there. For a marriage to last, you have to value the institution more than you value your own well being, or even your best life. Marriage is a classic example of Western hegemony, whereby we’ve been force fed the myth that it’s an objective good in its own right, instead of an amalgamation of goods and services that can rationally be obtained at higher benefit and much lower cost. Marriage my friend was made for man, man wasn’t made for marriage. It’s rationally a potential means to end end: well-being, and it’s torturous when treated as an end in itself.
