If something were to happen to me or her, for instance, I or her would not be recognized for the vital role we play in each others lives. This feeling grew to the point that I felt that it was unacceptable. I still think marriage is a clumsy and dated system, but I'm beginning to appreciate the sacred nature of it? I'm not sure. It's not what I thought it would be.
