Why bother getting married, going through all the pomp and pageantry, if you didn't think it was going to last? It was far easier to live in sin and not have to deal with the paperwork.

About This Quote

Someone who doesn't plan on getting married may want to think about the consequences of their actions. If they marry an unsuitable person, they may end up having a miserable life. If they don't marry at all, they may end up regretting it later. A person who lives in sin may also end up having a miserable life if they are caught by the law. They may have to deal with all kinds of consequences for their actions.
