I'm not anti-woman but I am anti-marriage. That institution has, by virtue of law, become the most-defining, the most-indicting, the most-limiting, the most-abused and the most-shackling institution ever polluted from its spiritual origin and essence. Thanks to attorneys and the Victorian Era, it is now nothing more than a corporate charter with clearly-outlined, substantial penalties for early withdrawal.
I'm sure that poets, priests and politicians would have their counterpoints to my opinion, but I doubt they're ever happy. They certainly don't seem so, considering the amounts of alcohol they swill. Personally, I think one of the worst parts of marriage is the mutual expectations for personal completion: the most-common examples are "the man can't cook-and-clean" and "the woman can't make as much money"...sometimes, the genders are reversed in those instances! But it all comes down to people expecting others to fill in the gaps of their incompleteness...their shortfalls. More often than not, my friends who divorced got into another relationship promptly just because "I need meals and clean clothes".
Basically, what ends up as a terrific friendship ends as two disgruntled business partners. Marriage is the worst way to kill a friendship between two people. Give something that wonderful, powerful and wholesome to a bunch of lawyers and individualists to define...and watch it wither and die at your feet. The fact of the matter is, unfortunately, there is no perfect (or more-perfect) union...and never will be. Just my .000002 Bitcoin.
