Does it have to last forever for it to be good?
There is usually an expectation that marriage is until death do us part. But so often people don't make it that far, even the relationships that are seemingly rock solid. So it's like, why bother get married?
Sometimes I wonder if the expectations of marriage are actually counter productive and add pressure to a relationship which ironically contribute to its failure.
