It’s wonderful that your marriage is lovely, and your luck was my parents too, and more in their age brackets!
However, value system transformation have seen younger generations deviating from marriage! Luckily, you spoke at length on this aspect via common law “marriages.”
If we are honest with ourselves, being married leaves very little room for individual decisions causing so much tension and divorce;)
That said, these very talk right here is good since I did argue that this topic is controversial and challenging with regards to reaching a consensus!
