I finally figured it out. Would you like to know why divorce is so popular? Everyone things that divorce is a problem. It is not a problem, it is only a symptom of the problem. Not to belabor the point in a diatribe of Tyler Durdenisms. But we all have something missing inside of us. For some, the hole is bigger than others. We all try to find ways to fill it it. Insert favorite vice or distraction here. The problem with marriage is that anyone can do it, usually without a psychiatric test. Just kidding there... what I am trying to say is that people tend to fill in their "holes" with many things and unfortunately, some choose marriage.
Plus, society says that once one gets married, that tying the knot will tie off all the unpleasantness of life. Look at how most romantic comedies are portrayed... Guy and girl meet, guy screws up, wins back girl, everyone is happy. Well, the sad reality is somewhere between the toilet seat always up and in laws, the thin veneer of the perfect life flakes away. And that is the core problem of life, it isn't perfect. Marriage won't make it perfect, Religion won't make it perfect, and we can't make it perfect. But its the imperfections that make life precious. If we stop trying to make everything perfect and just strive for being authentic, true to ourselves, then we can live, then we can truly love.
