as its primary reason for being.
But if not that, then what is marriage for?
Why does marriage remain?
It remains to provide the simplest and most essential of psychic shelters,
a sort of human lean-to
inside which truth can be told and selfhood can unfurl.
In the desert of mass society,
it provides the patches of shade
necessary for the cultivation of shared private worlds."
~Emily Fox Gordon, BOOK OF DAYS: PERSONAL ESSAYS
這段關於婚姻的描述實在太好了--
婚姻是大眾沙漠裡的樹蔭，
提供彼此一個可以休養生息的兩人世界。
但是先決條件是
在這個婚姻裡
必須可以說實話&做自己。
