Why do married people.....

Why do married people feel the need to tell the world that they love their spouse?

talk to any married person and within a few sentences they will profess their love for their spouse.

umm..doesn't the fact thaty you married them tells us all that we need to know about your affection for them?

I am bringing this to light because there is a guy on my Facebook friends list like clock work will post a comment like "I love my wife she is best wife a man can ask for".
And ofcourse the flock of sheep chime in "ah, so cute, he is a good man".

reassurance? didn't spending thousands and holding a ceremony already tell the world that

Ummmm...

Going to be a lot of unhappy, lonely old men in due time on this thread......Nothing wrong about professing your love to a significant other. It's all about being happy in life. Obviously, not eveyone feels the same about this subject. Whatever floats your boat.

umm....what is the highest form of professing your love, isn't that getting married?  what else does he need to say?

LOL at 2.5 children!!!!! hahahaha  Did that last one not make it all the way out? 

It means one of the child is from outside the marriage. It prevents people from double counting step kids.

People proclaim their love just like some men proclaim there conquest, or acheivements.
People that act like married people are misserable are imature. Or there to self centered to understanding the concept of sharing their life with another person. I don't think marriage is always the way the go but living a self centered life is the most trivial thing you can do.

this isn't the point, it is societies norms that force some men who are weak to conform and get married have a reg house, kids all that shit, when in reality they really don't want that, they feel so pressured to do that because that is what society tells you to do.  You can just as easily have no kids, live with your partner and be completely fulfilled, no marriage, no kids nonsense and no crazy responsibility.

Yup, you got it exactly right, seriously.
I am LIVING with my ex wife now ( 3rd ex wife ,long story).
It is having kids that causes the biggest stress, thus I never had any nor plan to.
