About This Quote
Marriage, as a social institution, is a very complicated thing. Throughout history, marriage has been a personal choice made by two people who love each other. In fact, it was legalized because it was considered a way of preserving property and wealth. But there are also many ways of looking at it.
In its early years, marriage was a way to ensure that children would be taken care of. Later on, the idea of “love” became a significant component in marriage. If you love someone, then you don’t intend to give them up.
If you love someone, then you want to marry them and provide them with a better future. And even if you never realized it before, marriage is the most expensive ticket to nowhere.
