Features: Some say: Marriage is beautiful. It begins with love, exists in the form of a family, and continues through the birth and growth of children. Love runs through it all, giving rise to an unbroken bond of blood ties, making it eternal. Some say: Marriage is terrifying. It uses love as bait, family as a shackle, and children as a chain, trapping people forever. It is a graveyard for love, a trap, a repetitive process that begins with sacrifice. Some say: Marriage is sacred and great. It is a great invention of humanity, using responsibility to make people take on social obligations, thus freeing them from mere self-centeredness, transforming them from animals into complete humans. Therefore, marriage is both a relationship between two people and a social relationship. Some say: Marriage is hypocritical and unreliable. It uses the veil of love to cover desires, engages in partnership-based material production and reproduction of offspring through a shared family lifestyle, and maintains a contractual relationship through shared interests. It can disintegrate at any time due to interests or temptation.
