Marriage
"Two people bound together by love. Their bond is celestial. They agree to live life together. - "The bond of heaven is not enough!" interrupts the state. And in the name of morality forges an iron chain on their hands and feet. - The earthly bond is not enough, says the Church. And in the name of heaven he forges another chain to the other. It happens that the two lovers, disappointed in their hopes, say: - We are not happy. There is no point in living together. Then they notice the two chains. Then they wonder for the first time what the church and state have done to them. They must be removed. But you have to grate into the flesh too. And this is our age we call the age of clarity."
