I don't understand why anybody old enough to know the score ever gets married, anyway. Why should love require a contract? Why put yourself into the clutches of the state and give it power over you? Why invite lawyers to fuck around with your assets? Marriage is for the immature and the insecure and the ignorant. We who see through such institutions should be content to live together without legal coercion . Robert Silverberg
About This Quote

Marrying someone because you think it is the right thing to do is often the cause of our problems within relationships. When we first meet someone, we give them our trust and open our hearts to them. However, since we are not sure about the other person, we cannot allow our guard down. It is better to be cautious and keep your guard up at all times from strangers rather than from those you know. We all deserve to be happy, but it will take a bit more work to achieve that happiness.
