I originally wrote a lot for this post, but while upgrading my blog, I suddenly realized there was no real need for a lengthy essay. For me, whether it's marriage or love, what matters most is a plain and genuine connection—one where both people deeply love and care for each other, and where the relationship is built on equality. In my eyes, that's the ideal state of a relationship.
And happiness? It's the feeling you get once all of that is in place—a feeling that needs enough love to sustain it. In a marriage like that, marriage is just a name we give that love. So, marriage is nothing but a label; what I want is to love my partner, and that can't be dictated by whether we can tie the knot or have kids
