“Marriage used to be a legal term. It denoted a partnership and property and protection from the Visigoths beyond the village walls. This was apparently not good enough for us, the modern married. We wanted it to be something else. We wanted to invest it with all of our hopes and all of our conceptions of passion and romance. And now that is what we have. A freighted, overburdened, gorgeous institution that is the devil and all to get right.”
