I wrote above, many moons ago, that "As a big believer in marriage, I am also a big believer in divorce." I still am. But what does it mean to be a big believer in marriage? In the same sense, what does it mean to be a big believer in anything? As a big believer in marriage, it means that I believe a married life is significantly more meaningful than an unmarried life. Now do not get me wrong, that one won't live a significant and fullfiling life if one does not get married. To the contrary, one can argue the opposite with all the "Hollywood" marriages going on these days. And in fact, even within married life, there are gradation of "better" or "significant." A married couple with children is significantly more meaningful than a married couple without children. It is all boil down to the depth of commitment and experiences.
Just as there are unexamed lives, there are also unexamed marriages. I bet you love the cliche. But you cannot compare a shallow married life to a deep unmarried relationship. To be fair, one should always compare the depth of a married life to the depth of a unmarried life. And once you chart that comparison, I believe you will start to see why a married life can be the most painful and yet the most rewarding. And thus a child or children resulting from that union will exponentially push the ceiling of life experiences that one can only fathom and experience when one is one.
