I couldn't agree more! I think that the expectations for marriage have become entirely selfish and often based on wants (disguised as needs). It is a disastrous recipe for a lack of personal fulfillment in which we blame others. In fact, I was surprised at how very much in this I did agree with...that's typically not the case with me:-) I admire your writing and appreciate your opinions and thoughts(even the "biased" one's). I look forward to reading more....:-) You wrote: “I may seem to be harping on this, but I think that suicides and divorce, huge societal problems, largely stem from unfulfilled and unrealistic love expectations.”
