Sometimes honestly I felt the people who live in the olden days got it right. Marriage is seen as a way to pass on your genetic material. If your wife happens to be also your best friend it’s ideal. But, if not, it’s okay too. Your marriage does NOT need to be the only place of solace and happiness. You can still find friendship that sometimes transcends more. Of course, I don’t mean physical affection nor you should have affair. I mean more on the spiritual connection. Like brothers (xiong di) relationship that most traditional asian culture. Nowadays, it’s rare to have friends/ soulmates like the past.
I was preparing to disagree, but after reading ur comment, I agree on most parts. Though I think marriage is not "necessary", firstly because we are not obliged to pass on our genes and carry on family line (traditional thinking) and secondly, we can pass on our genes and carry on family line without marriage (modern doing).
knowing what is enough and when is enough is the key to happiness in life
