I consider that getting married is the ultimate statement and consummate act that one could be privileged to make.
I was married for 12 days short of 48 years and I shall give the same vows and commitment again, hopefully early in the New Year. Being pragmatic I cannot expect to enjoy another 47+ years of happiness but we will be totally committed to each other, as we are now, and enjoy the happiness that being married can bring, for however long we have.
Perhaps the lack of stated committment in today's society has had some detrimental effect upon the society that we now experience - be assured that this is not meant to be critical of anyone, each to his/her own chosen way.
