People are unhappy in marriage because they expect marriage to make them happy. Two people, each expecting the other person to to make them happy. Kind of surprised even 50% of marriages survive.
It's a pretty shitty thing to do to another human being if you think about it. "Hey baby, I'm making you responsible for my happiness for the next 40 years"
Maybe, instead of thinking about what we want from marriage, we think about what we bring to it. Maybe, instead of thinking about how we can get others to meet our needs, we think about how we can meet others' needs.
It's a shame that there's no other part of this forum where we approach problems by thinking about meeting other people's needs
