Yeah. In celebration of finding a way to have little or no fun in the
company of another, you agree to keep doing it for a long, long time.
Ideally it's 'til death do you part. Sometimes you have to sever it,
though, before one of you finds yourself facing a death sentence for
making sure death *did* you part.
I so much missed not having fun with a spouse that I went back for
another round after the first time was no more fun not having fun. This
time it's probably 'til death. Some days death feels closer than
others.
