To think we’ve romanticised marriage?

It seems like marriage is often portrayed as the ultimate goal for happiness and stability but does it really live up to the hype? Are we overselling the idea of marriage as this fairy tale ending, when in reality, it’s just another relationship with its own ups and downs? AIBU to think we’ve romanticised marriage to the point where it’s viewed as the only path to success or fulfilment?

I don’t think marriage has been romanticised in this way at all.

I don’t think so. Motherhood is romanticised more than marriage I think.
