OH, SURE; my views get dismissed because I actually answered the question asked*:
"Reader NT wrote "...the decision often appears to come as if from nowhere because no one pays any attention to the little bits and pieces of it that accumulate over time." I think that's very possibly the way it works for a lot of people, but is it the way it ought to?"
the original question, just in case you're curious:
"The conversation I've been having most often recently, it seems, has moved from the discussion of what marriage is for (which I will have more to say about eventually, never fear), to the question of how one knows when to marry and/or whom to marry? How on earth do you suddenly look at a person and decide, "I am going to marry you"?"
*this would be an example of "my tendency to use intensifiers and qualifiers quite liberally,' and generally for sarcastic but not serious ends, for those of you who don't know me personally and thus wouldn't automatically get not to take me seriously.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
