What??!! Who ever said that you are not allowed to change once you
get married? If we accept your premise, I have to agree with you
that marriage does not make much sense. The challenge of marriage is
*to change* and grow together. The high divorce rate is due in large
part, I think, to people that just are not interested in trying to
do that. It is a lot of work, and they can't be bothered.
Self-indulgence and intolerance at work...
