“Marriage is something that takes up so much space, it can ruin your existence. But it makes life worth living. Wedding vows should explicitly state: “Of all people in the world, and of all possibilities, I choose you to be the only one to ruin my existence. I do not want anybody else but you to ruin my existence.” Otherwise, people get married, and a month later they start complaining that they feel cramped and need more space. “I love you” turns into “I love you, but I don’t like you.” Are you suffering because he ruined your existence? Of course he did. That’s what marriage does. What, then, would be the appropriate response? Very simple: “Go right ahead. Ruin my existence. Meanwhile I’ll be busy living.”
