More similar than I thought!! !

Think about it:

Marriage involves a contract and so does being a celebrity!

Also, both involve making sacrifices

What do you guys think about my analysis?

Well I think it's good that you're thinking it through: imagining it, especially the part about sacrifices.

No offense, but the similarities between the 2 things aren't all that apparent to me, having said this.

The same analogy could compare marriage to employment in general, buying or renting a home, & leasing or buying a car :shrug:

Marriage doesn't take any effort for me. It's just like living with your mother or your father in a way, except you're in a romance, which I don't find hard to keep up, as it's natural for me.

The only restriction is that I can't flirt with other men or leer if they're seen with their shirts off in the summer. Well, physically I can, but it feels immoral and I'd feel terribly guilty if I did. But because I have a husband I can always flirt with and leer at him when he takes his shirt off. "Why go out for a hamburger when I have steak at home?"

Hmm...I never thought to look at in that way!! !

So my assumptions about marriage being a replacement for living with your parents was correct?!?

Well it's how I've always looked at it, even though obviously a healthy parent-child relationship is different to a healthy wife-husband relationship, it can still feel the same in other contexts, like how comfortable you are around each other and how much you know each other's secrets and habits, etc. Just like most people do with their parents. In short, marriage shouldn't be any more difficult than having parents.

Hmm...very interesting...

I see marriage and marital life as "Romantic Legally-Contracted Roommates" because when you get right down to it...it kinda IS!! !

You are living with another person and must endure their quirks & habits

I like the definition of marriage being a test of social skills as mentioned by a poster here on WP
