"When the marriage was invented, its role was to decide on matters of patrimony and inheritance. Only after the 20th century people started to marry for love, with the free choice of partners. Today, we get married to be happy. Shame that the expectation be disturbed by myths as the perfect partner, the permanent dialog, the absolute transparency."
(Freely translated from: Veja Magazine - Interview with Lidia Aratangy - 2007-03-21)
Since the new kind of wedding is that recent, it might still be overestimated. We should keep it simple. As it is. It is simply an attempt to diminish our solitude in this world and to be happy.
"and from the nature of two she [the soul] makes one, in love and sociability"
