Why do people get married anyway, what difference does it make?
I think part is an altruistic dream of love, that brings two people together. Maybe it's naive, maybe it's not.
I naively believed that my ex loved me, perhaps he did in his own way. What separates many, is a severe incompatibility, when it boils down to it. There were unfulfilled, a clearly never to be fulfilled dreams. Believed I'd found someone that would be a supportive companion through the ups and downs of life. There was a great imbalance in responsibility. I was dealing with personality aspects that I was ill prepared to filter through, until already well into it, married and with children. I was 27, when I married, not exactly wet behind the ears with relationship matters.

Not sure about walking the aisle again, although in end of life matters, has it's upside.
