Duty makes marriage work. People today, primarily feminists, have this asinine notion that marriage is all about love and that you are supposed to wake up on a honeymoon everyday or get a divorce. Love plays a part absolutely, but it is a byproduct of successfully fulfilling ones duty. Duty to have children. Duty to raise, care for, and protect those children children.

Marriage is utterly pointless without children, regardless of exceptions that may exist.
