3/ I've got sympathy for people who break up. The advice "just work harder" is easy to give, but it ignores the fact that some tasks are like pushing a rock off a cliff (dead easy) and some are like pushing a boulder up a hill (just gets harder and harder).
4/ I certainly think that our society should emphasize marriage and de-glorify divorce. ...but just saying "stay together!" ignores the fact that the super important tricky part is the earliest stage: mate selection. Get that wrong and...hoo boy.
5/ oh, this slate article gets dumber and dumber. Society caused her marriage to fail because society didn't pay her enough or give her enough vacation time. >>>
6/ " [ we had ] no time and no money for swimming with the dolphins somewhere in the Caribbean. We did manage to take exactly one weeklong vacation a year" Poor baby. I've taken one vacation in my adult life - 18 years ago I took a 1 week timber-framing course.
7/ Most weekends aren't even vacations, just cooking, cleaning, feeding animals, doing tractor maintenance, maintaining the house, writing, etc. There's this crazy idea that vacations are a mandatory part of life, and lack of vacations is abnormal. I don't get it.
You do have to tend the fire though - that's the "work". But I think the connotation that work is unpleasant is why some people shy from saying marriage is work.
That said, marriage requires effort. If you choose your mate poorly, it could require more effort than you have. If you choose wisely, the effort is a breeze & the reward amazing.
Also, fires don’t die unless you let them. (The rest of your really good points aside, I’ve seen a few die for not really trying)
My marriage burnt the house down. (I started with wood that turned out to be hazardous material)
