Is Marriage an Outdated concept?

[Strike For The South]

I am supposed to be studying but that Spanish grade will stay the same no matter what, so you lot will have to deal with my thoughts.

Well is it?

We all know the statistics on divorce and unhappiness, we all have anecdotal evidence of our own folks (mine were much better enemies than friends ) We all know the western version of marriage is certainly not inate to humanity.

So one may ask why continue the charade?

Now certainly I understand why. I much prefer a relationship to random sex partners. I love the way my heart beats when I hold a pretty girls hand, I love the feeling I get when I share things with someone I like rather than just getting drunk, throwing it in, and running for the penicilin the next morning.

But that doesn't mean I could spend 50 years with that person.

Of course marriage is work and its never perfect but it just seems it may not be WORTH all that trouble these days.

Of course once kids get involved the hits the fan. Staying together for the kids is a modern day proverb
