This is particularly important in today’s society, where many people are facing unprecedented challenges and uncertainties. By providing a sense of security and belonging, marriage helps individuals navigate these challenges and come out stronger on the other side. Marriage has a positive impact on society as a whole.
Promoting stability and commitment, marriage will build stronger communities and foster a sense of social cohesion. In turn, it leads to a more just and equitable society, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
As the author so eloquently puts it, “Marriage is not just a personal choice, but a social good.”

Buffett’s philosophy on marriage is encapsulated in his advice shared during the 2015 Most Powerful Women Summit.
“If you want a marriage to last, look for someone with low expectations,” he said.
He was suggesting that the strength of a good relationship is built on a realistic expectation rather than idealizing attributes.
