One of the reasons I think we should be teaching people more psychology more of the time. I'm not saying everyone needs therapy as an adult, but everyone needs some pointers about human behaviour and a bit of space to consider why they are the way they are. I see so many terribly toxic young couples these days who have no idea that what they're doing is fundamentally misery-provoking and in some cases outright weirdly-consensually-abusive.

I certainly hope so - I live in a country obsessed with traditions. We have a magical family as the head of the country, we have silly soldiers in silly uniforms and do painfully embarrassing political things because 'that's just what we've always done'. I do hope marriage comes off the table - I'm heartened by the declining rates of the last twenty years - in a large part down to the availability of alternative economic means for women. :o)
