> The words "literally" and"everything" have real meanings They do indeed, and I used them correctly :) > In many jurisdictions couples are legally compelled to go to marriage counseling or similar. Australia has it for couples with kids That's pretty messed up. Really? If you have kids, you are legally required to get married in Australia? I couldn't find anything about that, and I find it difficult to believe. > The anecdote is nothing more than that K, but I still don't see marriage working in my immediate circle, nor wider society. I don't need a scientific study to draw conclusions from that.
