Modern civilisation has failed at it big time. I'm pessimistic about our efforts compared with our ancestors.. I have a good friend who married late.. she had the works a girl dreams of, but seems to have ignored what it's really about, not considering what commitment or compromise would be involved. She wants out already after a few months.
I don't think marriage is necessarily the answer. Commitment is possible outside marriage. I certainly couldn't be happy in an open relationship. I'm just not built that way I think. I do think humans are overwhelmingly monogamous. We crave societal grouping which is increasingly denied in civilisation where there always seems to be mobility towards isolation.
