Lee, I just read through all the comments and your replies. Two things: I loved this article so much, and I’m not divorced (for whatever it’s worth, seems like its audience is for men/women who are divorced)—but I appreciate how well you articulated the absolutely priceless gems of marriage. Secondly: I admire your loving, patient attitude in responding to so many comments which simply boiled down to: “yeah, no, I’d prefer not to be married.”
And as you so well pointed out: that’s fine!
Your goal, I think: to shed light on why those who of us who DO seek marriage do—was nailed unequivocally. Well, for me you did! I’m hopeful you did for many.
I SO hope you find that marriage soon, one day! You so deserve it! Best wishes!!!
