Why marry in the first place?

Currently my wife is humming the first 4 bars of The Star Spangled Banner over and over and over.

The best answer I can come up with is that marriage is a constant battle of wills. A never ending struggle for absolute supremacy over the will of another person. To take an independent human and bend them to your desire or at least drive them crazy.

What's more thrilling than that? Also how can you be more crushed when that's done to you.

In short marriage is 100% pure adrenaline. Now that bloodsports have been abolished it's the purest most glorious release for any sadist out there ... also any masochist because one way or the other you're gonna get a big swig from both cups.
