When I was younger, I was skeptical of the institution of marriage. I didn’t like the idea of the government defining my relationships, and I also lacked confidence that I could be happy with one person until death. Lately, however, I’ve begun to wonder if I should have married after all. But this video makes me think I might have been right not to. Maybe longer life spans and cheaper communication have made marriage obsolete. Maybe we should just accept the impermanence of all things, including pair bonds.
