Why Bother?

A friend lent me the Pedro the Lion album "Control"”. This song has been stuck with me since...

Options

We were walking, holding hands,
With our bare feet in the sand
And the seagulls overhead
When I broke the spell and said

"I could never divorce you
Without a good reason
Though I may never have to,
It's good to have options
But for now I need you
But for now I need you
But for now I need you"

But it was only in my head
Because no one ever says
What they really mean to say
When there's that much at stake

So I told her I loved her
And she told me she loved me
And I mostly believed her
And she mostly believed me.

What a great summation of my generations thoughts on the potential of Love and Marriage. If Pedro the Lion is correct, what does a young single person such as myself have to gain by getting married. Our parents have destroyed the divine plan of marriage and it will be up to our generation to slowly rebuild it.
