Kierkegaard is too pessimistic by four orders of magnitude.  BillW, you and I are two fortunate fellers for whom the old traditional matrimony business worked out well.  I have zero regrets.  Not just zero, negative regrets.  I would do it all again in a heartbeat, or half that time.  Johnny Grigg is another one fortunate in love.  There are others.  We are legion.  

My favorite philosopher is one for whom traditional marriage worked well.  Hell of a good chap, and I am honored to be in his orbit.  His name is Max More.
