A never ending compromise

It is when two people come together and choose to do what is best for their unit over each individual. Marriage is a legal contract that two parties make with each other and there are penalties for not continuously working on the marriage like you would a garden. Weeds will come in and plants will die if you don't water the garden. Same with a marriage. Both parties must work to keep each other happy and treat each other nice regardless of what tough times they are experiencing individually. Life is no longer just about you, it is about the team. When this happens, you will know you are in a real marriage.

A matrimonial state as defined by:

1) Females: "Marriage is the opportunity for two souls to be legally bound together so that they can share their innermost thoughts and feelings while creating the most perfect life together."

2) Males: "Wow, a chick to take care of me like my mother used to - but with the added bonus of sex!"

the beginning of the end.
