horses for courses Curval. It would be wrong of me to suggest anyone should not get married, and many of my friends are married and that is cool. Just not for me. My words about marriage may have been a bit derogatory, not the intention.
In the 'old days' marriage was a method of forming (within the ruling classes at least, peasants didn't get married much) strategic alliances between families. The poor schmucks who had to actually say the vows often had little to do with it.
But if you get married for the right reasons, who am I to argue?
