Because when you live for someone for half a century or more, the person you married is not going to be the same person you're living with 30+ years down the road.
They are "the same person." Certain things about people change a bit over time, and we get older, but we are still the same people. You're acting like love and loyalty don't exist.

Sure, but neither will you. The hope is that you will change and grow together as you work toward shared life goals. Of course, having similar values helps. I've only been married five years though, so I'm hardly an expert. 😋
Well said.
I've been with my man for 11 years, married for 7 of them. I will bever leave him and he will never leave me. My parents are still married and both sets of my grandparents were married until death.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
