I agree completely that marriage is not for everyone. Some people are happiest on their own, in a non-legally binding committed relationship, in an open relationship or any other number of relationship types. I think one of the best things a person can do in life is to look deeply at him or herself, decide what it is they want and be honest about that moving forward in their future relationships.
