Marriage is the end of life as we know it ladies.

According to Emma Goldman, marriage and love have nothing in common. Marriage is just a binding agreement, which is a huge investment. She states, "Its returns are insignificantly small compared with the investments." When a woman gets married, Goldman says, "she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her 'self-respect', her very life, 'until death doth part." I personally find a lot of things wrong with this passage. First of all marriage and love are connected. Why would you get married to a person without being in love with them? Despite the fact that most marriages end in divorce, couples are in love when they get married. Second, marriage shouldn't be looked at as just a financial strain. I think that when you get married, that you should want to share everything with your partner whether it be money, a name, or your life. When you get married you vow to share your life with your spouse til death do you part. I think today that marriage is a big joke. People just get married to get married then when a little problem arises they don't try to fix it they just get divorced. Does anyone else agree?
