I dont think we should look to marriage or any other thing to find happiness. I think you have to cultivate happiness inside you. Then you can carry that happiness into a relationship

I agree in a basic sense
but I think it is possible to enlarge or expand one's feelings of happiness from the joy of a really good relationship. So a relationship can bring happiness, but I don't think it has to be a marriage, necessarily

.... but then why risk the possibility of a sudden decline ?

Ya I see that.Theres a special happiness when your in love. But I just worry that peeps have unrealistic expectations that marriage will solve all thier woes. Marriage as most of us know isnt a magic carpet ride that will fix thier unhappiness. Besides, thats a lot of pressure to put on someone else too.

indeed - I agree marriage should FEEL like freedom if u have the right mix! we don't want to pressure a marital partner but be a best bud!!
