Oh come on, nobody has to, people supposedly go to marriage because they want to.

And ordinary people. I know a lot of marriages that fell apart or are with second spouses or people succumb to live with a cheating spouse and they're not celebs. People are horny or they get bored with each-other. They get bored with their lives, but once we reach Star Trek level of civilization, I mean... I guess there is a lot of pressure on people to get married. If you don't do it you're a failure so people just follow their desire to get married without being sure if they're ready.

Yes!! I remember noticing that long ago. I think I was like 13 when I noticed how shallow (or dare I say immature) Hollywood movies are when it comes to marriage, with their "Happily Ever After" endings. It was such a revelation to me at that time Ingmar Bergman's "Summer With Monika" about young lovers that run away and get fed up with each other and then the grand-master himself: R.W. Fassbinder with "Lola", "Chinese Roulette", "Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant"...

Maybe it's not that people care so much but it just gives people the opportunity to talk about the marriage, because it's still a taboo. It's not like people are going to talk about it in let's say school or anywhere else. Maybe in some self help books.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Yeah, I don't know why celeb marriages seem to last less than the rest of us. I wonder if one spouse inevitably gets jealous over the others' fame? Here in the Air Force community, divorce seems to be pretty rare. At least for the officers/pilots. I don't know if divorce rate among the enlisted folks are higher or not though.

Personally, I love being married more than anything. My spouse is the absolute best thing about my life and best thing to have ever happened to me. I've always heard it said that marriages are super hard and take a lot of tedious work, etc etc, and I'm just like "What are you talking about?? Marriage is great!" I don't know. Maybe things are supposed to get harder once the kids come?
"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."

I've always pictured it harder when the nest empties. Especially with the death of offspring (in situations where it's unreasonable to try and procreate again).
