Man

My parents celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary yesterday and are happier with each other than ever.

How did it turn out that I see little point in getting married beyond legal benefits? The world may never know.

The legal benefits are nice. But really, if you're not into it, no need. If you decide to settle with someone(s), look into domestic partner stuff.

Today is *my* parents' 27th, and ... ditto. Do you think growing up in happy in-love families fucks up our expectations somehow? Hm.

You would think it would make us expect happy, long-lasting marriages, but that seems not to be the case.
