(no subject)

[[It has been a good couple of weeks since the experiment with being a family. Even mother's day had passed by, much to Val's unnoticing. She'd been distracted from life at home, mostly looking into, and around, this marriage thing.

She didn't get it. Of course, she hadn't considered going to read a book on it, but, she also assumed that wouldn't get her anywhere either.

Well, two weeks is plenty of procrastination on this topic... Though, surely her silence and pondering might've caused some concern with Kirimi and Neliel.]]

I'm sorry to be a bother while everyone's busy greeting the New Feathers, but I want to ask something. What's the purpose of marriage? I understand that it's what two people do when they love eachother enough, but, what makes it any different from being a boyfriend, or girlfriend.

Honestly, if you truly have no desire to be apart from the one you love, why is that something people resort too?

I suppose this last experiment left me a little confused about the subject. Not that... I'm opposed, mind you... That is... marrying Nel, but... I don't know why it's necessary...

Because it says that's the one person you want to be with for the rest of your life. Forsaking all others.

It's a lot more serious basically.

It's hardly "necessary," but it is an option. I guess some people like the feel of the security involved.

That's what I've been hearing. I'm probably not going to do anything like it... I'd hate to get married to Nel, then, find myself sent home the next day...

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd get married here all things considered.

Hmm... that's what I've been hearing...

I guess that's a little depressing. Some people would still get married in prison and shit... but then they don't run the risk of getting sent to different worlds and times.
