"Marriage – what a weird concept: Two people meet, spark off an emotional explosion which is probably the most intense feeling they will ever have in their entire lives. They rush off to a church; swear they will keep it up forever. Then, when the steam of lust has cleared, they see each other’s black heads and nasal hear with postural clarity  and realized they are joined at the legal hip and are condemned to years of sullen compromise, bitterness, despair, depression, futility, and only if they are lucky the blessed release of an early death." -- Diana Trent (Stephanie Cole) in the BBC Sitcom Waiting for God.
