Lately, I think marriage is overrated. Marriage is supposed to be a beautiful, powerful, invincible bond between two loved ones who know that life will not be life if they don't have each other with them forever. Marriage was seen as a treasure, exceedingly significant, as something that actually had some value within it. But lately, marriage these days has become a big joke! :( We have teenage 爱情 birds as young as fifteen thinking they're actually in 爱情 with one another and that they can't live without each other, so they go get a secret marriage, a private wedding with 老友记 if not just among themselves and a "pastor", and run away together. Of course, these are the type of relationships that can easily end up on Maury. Then we have the marriages that exist just for convenience. Man and woman have one night stand, woman's knocked up, man feels that its his responsibility to stay with woman (or is pressured 由 his strictly religious parents), and rashly marries the woman. These are the type of divorces that involve screaming, shouting, judging, manipulating, messages in front yards made out of fire, crashed car windows, cars with "Cheating Bastard" scratched into them, mistresses and boyfriends (of course), and emotionally and psychologically damaged children who grow up being complete sociopaths. We have marriages that last for about a few months until one of the 'soul mates' is finished with their lust stage in the relationship. Or, we have this one particular situation that happened in my family; My cousin, Don gets married to a woman named Kit he only knew for a few months. He has two daughters. Kit was abusive to both children, and Don ingored it for the sake of Kit until my family becomes hysterical and Children In Youth gets involved. Lastly, we have gay marriage, and I'm pretty sure we all know the controversy over that. Marriage is about love, people, not gender. Yet, lately, it doesn't seem to be about 爱情 at all. Lately, marriage is just the third most perfect recipe for everlasting drama, fighting, scarring, and well evident stupidity. Marriage is currently in complete turmoil if not a big joke, pretty much. :/
