It's a weird thing, I think I never connected 'marriage' with all the commitment love trust stuff (I know! Where was I raised? I mean, actually I was raised by married and crazy-in-love parents, so you'd think I would have made that connection, but it went missing somewhere), all of which is so much more awesome than I would have thought in militantly-single twenties... but for other people, like my friend J, the two go together really closely (she was non-monogamous and a bit of a player till her 50s when she suddenly settled down with my friend L, at which point she was like LET US GET MARRIED, WE ARE MONOGAMOUS NOW IT ALL COMES TO THE SAME THING and L was like OMG HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A FEMINIST AND WANT TO GET MARRIED???). Breakable definitions! Fun times.
