Remember to have joy in the journey. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” I …
This is just pitiful and sad. The things that individuals endure in order to keep the society happy is beyond our imagination. I sincerely believe that if things go this way, the institution of marriage will be totally destroyed.
