Marriage is so often treated as the end all be all when it comes to relationships, or with some people, even when it just comes to life in general.
As though life is a game and you marriage is winning. It’s a bit strange if you think about it.
Not because marriage is bad or because it’s not admirable, but because there’s a whole other set of life that happens after that point. It’s far from the end of anything, it’s really more the beginning of potentially a great many somethings.
