Now you're just being a prick. I never said its all about eroding someone else's personality or individuality.
I must grow up, yet here you are arguing with a phantom. I never said its all about eroding someone else's personality or individuality. I didn't say only one partner must a align with the other.
You're actually just spewing feminist rhetoric here, which is actually a whole issue on its own. You're basically just railing against a caricature of traditional marriage as a mysogenistic institution that oppresses women, and I think it's pointless arguing with you.
Marriage is a compromise, where the individuals have to subjugate aspects of their own individuality, dreams, blah blah for practical reasons. In fact all relationships (every single one) is based on compromise, BECAUSE we are individuals and can't possibly want what the other person wants all the time. A marriage is the most important relationship you can be in and therefore it will require the most compromise.
Honestly if I have to explain how human works, this conversation is more trouble than its worth.
