The sobering conclusion of this truthful and well written piece came to me a few years ago, when I started watching 24 hours A & E. I've watched this British series, all seasons and episodes more than once now; every time I need a boost in remembering human kindness, patience, logic, non hysteria, selflessness and indeed....true commitment. Many of the now elderly patients admitted were well under 20 years old when they committed , through marriage, to their partner . As you will hear and see all of them say, of course there were obstacles, but they stayed true and placed pride and value on their commitment once made. You will see multiple decades of marriages celebrated by families of great-, grand- and children. And yes, clearly seeing the generations following , presented with more "options" not being as successful in finding the right partner. Too many options confuses us. It sounds great but it is indulgent and negative. Imagine the feeling you have when looking at a huge menu, not knowing what to pick and end up regretting what you finally settled on. Less is more! Thank you Rob, for this article. It is brilliant and truthful.
