Re: Presumptions about relationships and their "purpose" really piss me off.

I can understand a couple wanting to have discussions about the nature of their relationship and whether they see a future together and what they want out of that future. What I don't understand is how marriage and kids constitutes "going somewhere." You get married... and then you still have the whole rest of your life ahead of you. Do you no longer have to think about your relationship and where it is "going?" The marriage wasn't any kind of "ending." You have kids... and you then have to spend years raising them while presumably still having a relationship and eventually they grow up and move out and then what? Is your relationship still going anywhere or has it already been everywhere it can and you just need to coast along until you die?

Marriage and children are more like processes than end goals. They are also things that people usually do less than halfway through their lives, which makes it especially odd to treat them like the ultimate goals of any relationship, as if the whole rest of your life and how your relationship fares over the course of it is unimportant.
