People are expected to fall in love with each other– that is, they are expected to take leave of their senses, and while in this addled state, they are not only allowed, but encouraged, to sign a contract that is meant to last a lifetime. It is no wonder that half of them end up anting out of the deal. What is amazing is that the other half stick with it.”
