As much as I agree with this statement in part, in another I don't. I agree with the bonding of two people and that it's an amazing feeling, because it is and it is. I feel it's a good way of finding a lifelong companion in which you have mutual respect for one another as well as other emotions that come together to make that feeling called 'love'. Where you can feel comfortable to be with each other, look your best, your worst etc etc.
The marriage and kids part is the bit I have a bit of a quarrel with. Yes, I believe it is much better for children if they have been 'produced' through love as opposed to casual fling, and that it is in the confines of wedlock as this provides more stability on the whole family unit. If this suits a certain couple then great. However, the fella I am with doesn't believe in marriage and I am not that bothered. Plus neither of us wants kids. So we are together for each other and that's it really. We do not need a piece of marital paper to prove our love for each other, nor do I need kids to provide further evidence. The only person I need to prove my love to is my boyfriend and I do that anyway.
But otherwise I appreciate the statement as it has much value in my eyes.
