Marriage, a 21st century definition: the subject of all our conversations, the object of all our ambitions, the source of all our woes.
What is left to be said about marriage that has not yet been discussed abundantly in all our gatherings? Clearly, very little - and yet the topic remains elusive. There are just so many factors which play into our marriage narratives, it’s hard to keep up; high divorce rates, increased societal pressure for independence, Love vs. “love,” family expectations, and the list goes on. As such, this article has no intention of discussing marriage issues in their entirety – you’ll find enough books and videos on that – rather it seeks to examine a mentality which appears to gain more and more prominence, especially with regards to marriage: the means are taken as ends. Let’s look at two stereotypical examples, one of brothers and one of sisters, to highlight the fallacy.
