They Say Marriage is a Dying Institution: What's Really Dying is Love

This is one of the most profound articles I have read in some time about the state of Love and Marriage through the eyes of a professional psychiatrist. It is a powerful treatise that swims against the tide of perceptions held by most people.

"The pronouncement came from actress Cameron Diaz and psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow last week: marriage is a dying institution. Dr. Ablow blames its demise on government, contraception, disappearing passion and the mockery of divorce. What he never mentions is Love. Marriage will only die if we give up the struggle of love."

"The sad state of marriage today has nothing to do with it being outdated or confining or passion-killing. It has everything to do with people who are no longer willing to love each other because they no longer understand what Love is, nor do they know Who Love is."

The statement above is one that inspires rethinking of the notion of what love truly is. A profound opinion worthy of deeper consideration and discussion with others.
