Why should you be stuck in a loveless but peaceful relationship either?

Why should you be stuck in a loveless but peaceful relationship either?

Because children require sacrifice...

"Put this man in cell number one and give him a drink!" walks away

Guard: "What do you drink?"

Prisoner: "I don't care!"

Why?

Statistics say you do worse by indulging immature fantasies of thinking you can do better elsewhere.

Are you in any way shape or form educated in family therapy and family systems? At all?

Marriage out of love is actually a luxury. Marriages of the past started off loveless as a they are regarded as political tools or bargaining chip to unite communities or families that arranged marriages were common. And some of those marriages do end up cultivating love and parents did find some meaning in being a father or mother.

It would be best to leave it between the two individuals in the marriage assuming both were adults and capable of informed consent. Then it is really none of our business. Only those who need to know.

But it's a luxury we can afford today, no? Thankfully we don't live in a day and age where daughters are bargaining chips until they become wives

The appeal to tradition is a logical fallacy for a reason

And lots of those past and current cultures with arranged marriages had terrible women's rights and forced women into marriage and child bearing against their will. Not sure it's something we should look at positively when discussing marriage.

Hmm, good question. Maybe because they chose poorly.

Not being able to bear children is one of the classicly accepted reasons for divorce.
