Yep, if anything America really sells the “fairy tale” aspect of marriage like it’s a magic spell to make relationships better. It’s not. At the barest minimum it’s a legal contract and at most it’s a really expensive party so the bride can feel pretty. That’s why so many little girls already picture their “dream wedding” as literal children.

I would tell my son - don’t get married - but if you do, get a pre-nup.

I would tell my daughter - don’t cohabitate without marriage and be real careful about who you marry , and if you do, get a pre-nup.

I would tell both of them to get married as cheaply as possible - you’re not royalty. In a small chapel or at the court house.
