Big Love: Marriage based on “love” is immature and unstable
The HBO series Big Love season 2 episode 14 had a very good lesson to teach today’s less informed people regarding the whole concept of marriage:
“I don’t know that a marriage based on love can go the distance. The sacred holiness of the institution, the sanctity of marriage, without it it’s just random couplings, with no purpose or stickto-it-iveness. How will we survive the bad times on just - love?”
Nicolette “Nicki” Grant-Henrickson
This is great. Nicely worded. In fact I heard the same kind of concept when I traveled to India. Majority of Indians look down at the concept of “love marriages.”
This is why I have always believed in marriage and children. Having children between each other is a bond that can never be broken… unless all your children die. Just like in the movie Gone with the Wind, when their daughter died, at last Bret, the leading man was able to get rid of Scarlet… “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
