If you're single you might be considered the black sheep of the family. Now if you're married then deus ex machina, everyone accepts you and everyone is happy. That's the sad and real truth.  |
This is the truth within my family and in the workplace. I'm considered socially and mentally flawed, perhaps gay. My siblings talk about almost nothing other than their family and children. Also, according to an article, married people get more sex, and it can be disproportionately more considering the average married person has sex three times a week, 52 weeks a year. Those weeks add up. It's like putting money into a savings account early in life and letting the compound interest accrue.
