Partnership Over Marriage

""Hardly leaves one with time left over to sustain the elaborate ruse of marriage. An unnatural arrangement which forces its participants into an unhealthy monogamy. An accretion of petty fights and resentful compromises which, like Chinese water torture, slowly transforms both parties into howling, neurotic versions of their former selves.As an institution, I think it's outlasted its usefulness by quite a large...margin.And yet I've come to appreciate the premise of partnership.It's far more intricate than I had previously imagined." - Sherlock Holmes in Elementary

One of the funniest and wittiest lines i have come across on Marriage. I do support this thought to a larger extent. From an Indian Context, Marriage has never been a marriage of equals or probably in most of the cases. Finding the right person is anybody's luck and luck doesn't favor many. This concept of partnership at equal footing with no compromises and appreciating each other's desires and feelings is a welcome trend which i hope to foresee within next generation. Experimentation with failure is fine as long as failure teaches you to succeed next time.
