MARRIAGE

• a word which always means commitment -- but so does insanity;

• a rite where two people, under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, promise to maintain this excited, abnormal and exhausting condition until death do them part;

• a bargain, and a sensible person understands that someone must get the better of any bargain;

• a delightful form of combat where you get to sleep with the enemy;

Am I being a pessimist or speaking from experience?
