Why do people get married? Why do they desire to live together? Why do they spend most of their lives seeking for the soulmate they may never meet? Let us get down to fundamentals and find out the reasons.

Ever since our society exists we tend to follow certain models of lifestyle which are, by all means, relevant to the contemporary scene we take part in. And what are the stages every normal person nowadays is likely to pass through? We go to kindergarten; we attend high school and then, maybe, we choose university in order to find a proper job. Meanwhile, no sooner than we become able to determine independently our own future, we, perhaps even unconsciously, start looking for somebody to spend the rest of our lives with. Afterwards, having completed this arduous task, we usually contribute to the creation of the next generation and in all probability, by the time we have raised our children we will have already grown old. This basic sketch I have just drawn will doubtlessly turn out to be the driving force of a whole generation. And that is precisely where the rub appears.

That no feat of intelligence is so exacting as that required by two people who desire to live permanently together is undeniable. And it will remain so as long as people continue to live following forced lifestyle stereotypes and get married for wrong reasons. Few are the lucky ones that have actually been blessed to find their soulmates and live with them. But what about all those who decided to indulge in co-habitation unprepared? No wonder divorce rate is so high.

Marriage brings great happiness but requires qualities of selflessness, sacrifice and the continuous need for compromise. The question is how to achieve all that? No feat of intelligence, no fabulous wealth can prevent unhappiness if the one keyword I have been intently restraining from using this whole time is lacking. Needless to say, I mean love.
