Why marriage? Can’t you just start living together first?
Asking someone to marry you on the first is just stupid. Many things could not work out and marriage is a big thing. Imagine spending time and money and then find out that you are not fit together. Then you live a miserable life or fill for a divorce.
It made remember an episode of All in the family where Archie unite with George to prevent a Spanish couple from buying a house in their neighborhood.
Archie did the same thing when George brought his but George forget that and was like a friend to Archie in that episode.
