Emma, by Jane Austen.
You are but one and twenty, a gentleman’s daughter, but fixed on never marrying so that you may care for your hypochondriac father; this, however, does not dissuade you from the disastrous matchmaking you attempt for others, which goes wildly awry, embroiling yourself even, though you are always sensible to the distinction of rank.

Two Shintō shrines on Awaji Island are associated with the creation myth of Japan (国生み神話) in the earliest chronicles Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. At Onokoro Island Shrine (自凝島神社), visitors are encouraged to perform rituals to sacred stones for good fortune. The sekirei stone (鶺鴒石) is for couples, with a white and red cord, and I was surprised that my wife grasped my hand and prayed as we held the cords.

We also went to Izanagi Shrine (伊弉諾神宮), dedicated to the two founding gods or pillars (二神、又は二柱) of the archipelago. Worshippers believe that the founding gods dwell in the 900-year-old husband-and-wife camphor tree (夫婦楠). We have seen a similar tree at Ōmiwa Jinja in Nara (大神神社) where two trees merged into one at the base. We also noticed a connection to the Onokoro Island Shrine at the Izanagi Shrine, a small sekirei monument to married couples (夫婦鶺鴒像), and both sites included a bird motif.

One of the hardest parts of being married is when the OH wakes you up in the middle of the night because she ‘heard something downstairs’ and is now convinced there’s someone in the house.

Spoiler alert: there never is!

One of the odd things people say about is that it's a "Western state" when it's no more a state than Japan and, in my opinion, far less so. For example, is determined by religious authorities even though The stopped doing this over a century ago.

"Voting isn’t marriage - it’s public transport. You are not waiting for “the one” who is absolutely perfect."

With this metric, is even marriage like marriage? Do people believe there is exactly one person out of seven billion that is your soulmate and you have to find them?

@clacke I gave this sort of thing a fair amount of thought back in my early 30s. This essay was good, as I recall: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/03/marry-him/306651/

Dr. Johnson also had some wisdom on the idea of "The One":
Boswell: "Pray, Sir, do you not suppose that there are fifty women in the world, with any one of whom a man may be as happy, as with any one woman in particular?" Johnson: "Ay, Sir, fifty thousand."

Marriage shouldn't be about waiting for "the one" who is absolutely perfect either. No one's absolutely perfect, neither are you. If you want to get married and have kids, find someone you think you'll be generally happy with and whom you think will be generally happy with you and choose to love that person as much as you can.

If I'm a good father, my kids will need me less and less, but know I love them fully and will also be here for them. If I'm a good husband, my wife will love me more and more as the kids start to move on.

I also realize, I am influencing my kids choices less and less as they get older, and I'm cool with that. All I can do now, is know that I have loved and supported them from the start and always will, no matter what. Where they go from here, is becoming all them.
