Feelings

 Joyous feelings of excitement, connection, love, passion, warmth, friendship draw us into marriage.  And everybody knows feelings waver.

"Marriage in our society has been reduced to simply a celebration of feelings. It’s only logical that marriage can end when the feelings change. The lynch-pin is still “my happiness,” so if the marriage is no longer serving my happiness, then it’s time to take it all apart and move on." 

Actor Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have decided to do just that.

Here's a bigger vision of the marriage relationship, beyond feelings:

“It is not your love that sustains the marriage but, from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.”
