Should marriage be the ultimate goal in relationships with the opposite sex?
We live in a reasonably affluent society. Religion and morality aside, is marriage really necessary? Arrangements can be made for children out side of the traditional marriage.
I think in the last few decades the idea that Marriage is more about "love" than socio-economic partnership has changed people's tolerance for being in relationships were te spark begins to die.
But if marrriage is the end result of romantic love, can we reproach people that desire to leave a marriage where that romantic love has faded to a mere affectionate or comfortable friendship?
Or is marriage a promise to stay with someone even when all romatic love has passed away?
