Yes. This is called the “first” marriage. Once one of you doesn’t want to act like that anymore and the the other still does you get to move on to the next one.
My grandparents were married for nearly 70 years. They had four daughters. He went off to fight in the Korean War, survived, and then went off to fight in Vietnam a few years later. My grandparents were both very young and very emotionally damaged from their childhoods and didn't know how to love each other or their children. As they grew older, however, and their children began to grow up, get married, move away, and start families of their own, they began to focus their attention on each other and began to remember what love felt like again. The secret to their marriage lasting as long as it did was this: the power of their hatred for the other and their daughters cancelled each other out and they decided to take another shot at life together. It's pretty fucked up now that I think about it. They did destroy my mom and aunts in the process, but at least they were happily married for 65 years when my grandmother passed away.
But what if you want to stay over at a friend's place for the night? Or your friends plan a vacation around your anniversary? Or when you want to go to the beach but they want to stay at home. What then? Marriage may have it's own perks but it does lessen your freedom. Personally, I don't believe in everlasting love because that's just some movie shit. It all eventually comes to a point when you think the other person is dragging you or maybe you are doing that to the other person. Life is shitty and so is marriage. Stay single and live freely.
Most of the people who get married "young" (meaning before they are totally financially stable, being over 25 or something) only get married bc they have "a little happy accident"
And I've never seen someone who is as miserable as young, poor, clueless parents with a 2 year old kid.
Being with your lover is fun and game but when child comes into the equation then.. It's parents instinct to want to provide the best and sacrifice for the child, thus no more freedom. Child is the priority then.
