It's my belief that one's relationship is a reflection of their state of mind: discernment, virtues, and/or ambitions. People pick what they subconsciously relate to even if they won't openly acknowledge it. There is no problem with marriage, the problem is individual.
We are a generation of selfish, insecure & demanding overlords. Who are just as boring as we are loud. And it is always someone's fault, never ours. Instead of healing & adjusting, we turn pain into campaign. We conjure childish rules to mechanically regulate social relationships
I mean, relationships are so simple when you know what you are, & what you want. If I made the other sex my sole focus in life, there is no way in hell I was ever going to make a good partner. I am an individual first, before I am a boyfriend. Loving needs no rules, just giving.
How I treat you is how I treat me. I push myself to do miles on the road, I will do the miles for our relationship. I am cool & calm when you are upset, that's how I talk to myself. I made you breakfast, that's how I look after myself. I was at peace long before I met you.
I like peace. I like laughter. I do not like to hate. It is bad for my health. I am by no means perfect, but I am sensible enough to know when I am wrong. I try to correct that as soon as possible. Every time, I pick you, I pick me. You are but my extension.
Just find your person and give it the best you have. Leave the world at the doorstep, walk in your spousal truth. We have our contexts just as you have yours. Pick what enhances your contexts, leave the rest where your found them. Our scars should not be your compass.
