Marriage: Destroying friendships
One by one it happens. Marriage shoots its arrows at our friends' hearts and locks them into an eternal separation from their friends. Almost instantly from the temple doors and into the getaway car, we lose our friends as they begin to diminish from our social lives into a more subtle, once-a-quarter basketball game or even the, ‘Hey, I need help moving!’ When we take a moment, we realize that we, as the friends, have been forgotten.

Mission or marriage?
Envision yourself in the turn lane in the middle of the road. There are two lanes of traffic on either side, both headed in a definite direction. And there you are, trying to get somewhere, but you are stuck and quickly growing frustrated.

Letter: Limited bliss
I’m starting to think reporters at The Universe don’t have an opinion about anything other than marriage. I was not surprised to see the title of last week’s Viewpoint article: “Marriage Matters: Marriage is more than a happy ending” (7/31). This revealing piece of journalism described the tendency of many BYU students to expect to live “happily ever after” once they tie the knot. Katie Harmer, who wrote the piece, has been married two years and has thankfully come to the realization that this is not the case. Any BYU student who thinks marriage creates automatic, blissful happiness should be dismissed because there is no way they are intellectually qualified to be here. Research suggests married bliss lasts anywhere from one year to four years. Either way, that’s definitely not until death do you part, or eternity, for that matter. Have you ever seen your parents talk baby-talk on the phone till 4 a.m. when not together?
