Marriage is a war against mediocrity

How long is the lifespan of love? Researchers at the University of Pavia in Italy did a special study in 2005 to prove that the longest "love" feeling does not last more than a year. But when love is put into the fixed pattern of marriage, how can the feeling of "love" continue in just one year? In the third act of "Marriage Scene", the male protagonist shows off to his wife that he wants to run away from home with his lover. He does not say that I don't love you anymore. It is slow but broken to say "I am really tired of all the nitpicking and tolerance in ordinary life, all the trivial things, I just want to adjust myself".
Therefore, the biggest enemy of marriage is not love. Her biggest enemy may really be life. A mediocre and ordinary life is a process of blending in the differences between two similar characters or completely different characters. In this life and process, in fact, There are not many romances, and more of what you are facing is the fragmentation and disturbance of chicken feathers in one place. Getting up in the morning to make breakfast, cleaning the dishes and washing clothes after returning home, the troubles of the birth and growth of the child, the parents and relatives of both sides face zero and zero. . . Sometimes it's not miserable, but it's definitely not like spring in all seasons. And although these have certain patterns, you definitely can't predict the sudden changes. Many of those who want to bring down existing marriages may be an extreme way of avenging their mediocre lives. But the problem is, you choose liberation, but when you start another marriage, you will still face all the trivial things you used to be. Therefore, only by overcoming the mediocre life and discovering the beauty in the ordinary triviality can you have a relatively beautiful marriage.
