My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to, but a tough one.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

My father was a Catholic, but my mother wasn't. She had to do that weird deal you do as a Catholic - they deign to sanction your marriage and you have to bring your children up as Catholics.

It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend.

Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats.
