You look for a dog that is loyal ...why not a partner?
We are told that somewhere in the vicinity of 50% of marriages in the USA now end in divorce.
I suggest that this is not necessary, though it is understandable.
As time passes, more people are taught that what they want now is the supreme consideration. Nothing whatsoever should stand between themselves and utter satisfaction. The evidence permeates media: we are shown a parade of celebrities who have decided they are tired of what has turned out to be the flavor of the month. We are shown athletes in every major sport who reject marriage, for whatever reason... we even celebrate their casual relationship that has produced a child.
But marriage is not the point, however it may speed probate courts and enable emergent medical decisions.
If you embrace a simple idea, commitment, before you engage in what you think may be serious relationship negotiations, and if you find a partner who recognizes its value...
...you may beat those odds. Especially if tough times come your way.
This lady DOES understand: a promise is the heaviest thing you will carry, and that the rewards of life are often on the other side of a... challenge.
May you find your own way so gifted, that your partner can actually be serious.
