I used to think that all married men were idiots.

Or, if they weren't idiots, they were at least not popular enough to be avoided. So they could only accept those who chose them... Because if it wasn't because you had no other romantic options, why would you tie yourself to someone for the rest of your life?

I mean, seriously... getting married?

OK... You enjoyed a few months of passionate sex, but ended up being subjected to a lifetime of contractual slavery. Eventually, she will take you for granted, treat you like a walking wallet, and stop having sex with you. She will even make jokes with her friends about how you're a fool? This is assuming that you can still be together... Because more likely than not, she will eventually leave you, take the children away, and steal half of your savings in the process.

Which sane person would sign up for such an activity?

Don't these people realize that if you really break down the good aspects of marriage into its basic components, you can hire others to fulfill all these needs, and the cost will be much less than the lifestyle of raising a runny-nosed child and going through an inevitable divorce?

I'm not exaggerating when I say this!

Here, I will prove this to you...

You can hire someone to do a thorough cleaning at your home every other week. The cost depends on the size of your house. For example, it would be around $200 per month.

You don't want to cook by yourself? Well, you can spend $2,000 per month to hire a catering service company to prepare your lunch and dinner for you (breakfast is super easy and you can do it yourself as well).

OK, the money spent on cooking and cleaning is even less than your mortgage payment... So what's left? Oh, by the way, the most important thing. Sex!

Based on your preferences and the legality of your local work situation, you can meet a sex worker once a week for the rest of your life, and spend no more than $1,000 to $2,000 per month.

So, if you add up the monthly costs for the predictable, guaranteed, high-quality cooking, cleaning and sexual services that are outsourced... your total annual expenditure will not exceed $50,000. In the short term, this amount might sound quite large to some people... but if you compare it to the average cost of raising a child, as well as the inevitable expenses after a divorce, it is definitely a cost-effective investment.

Through this completely new, improved and upgraded lifestyle:

— You should keep your heart locked up in a cage for protection...

— You won't have to clean your own toilet anymore (never again!) ……

— And you ejaculate inside/onto/around the revolving door of strangers every week.

Let me say it again: this is definitely a great value for money. Who wouldn't want to sign up?

What I mean is, what other options are there? The mainstream monogamy? God, that's so disgusting!

Binding oneself to someone for life, he will see your blind spots, challenge you to become a better version of yourself, while pouring their love into you and providing deep nourishment through passionate sex in a place filled with joy, longing and emotions?

Bound yourself to someone, allowing him to encourage you to realize your deepest dreams, to accompany you in your tears when you encounter life difficulties, and to offer you his generous and pure love that makes you shed tears just by looking at each other at the breakfast table?

It was truly a nightmare.

Or... Wait a moment...

Perhaps... The true nightmare is regarding love as an eternal threat...

Keep a safe distance from life, but death never truly allows anyone to enter...

Because you are convinced that getting married to the person you love will cause a significant spiritual death to yourself, your heart will be trapped within a thick layer of armor.

Because any relationship based on control, fear, criticism and distrust is doomed to fail.

In order for any relationship to thrive, we do indeed need to establish protective mechanisms that were once useful but are no longer necessary.

Think about it carefully... For us, there is no better tool for growth than connecting ourselves with others, allowing all our things to emerge and disappear one by one.

Now, I am in a relationship of such depth that it would make me dizzy ten years ago.

I will not oppose or resist the feminine qualities. I can allow myself to be nourished by Demitra until the very core of my being.

I'm certain that if I were young today and saw myself... he would burst into laughter, or secretly belittle or judge what he saw (secretly envying it deep down). But in fact, I have never been so happy, nor have I ever been so fulfilled.

I am much more gentle than I was when I was a young soldier full of vigor. I have a soft blanket and I can rest my head on my lover's chest - things that I couldn't do before.

So, if you think marriage is something only fools would do... or if you are afraid to truly show your vulnerability in a relationship, then let me tell you straight away, it is absolutely worth it. Love is the meaning of our existence. There is nothing that can help you grow and deepen your relationship faster than a safe, friendly and loving one.

So, in any case, this article has been written for a long time already. I must start now.

I have made an appointment to go and see the engagement ring.
