But others suggest the marriage pendulum has swung from the hollowly pragmatic to an unhealthy romantic ideal...
...turned down, and I'm not talking about some grotesque monster," he says. "But there's the idea that there has to be this great degree of passion to get involved, which isn't always functional. So you have people saying things like, 'If I can't have my soul mate, I'd rather be alone.' And after that, I say, 'Well, you got your second choice...
