The Marriage Cul-de-Sac
A cul-de-sac or dead-end is a street or passage closed at one end. But are cul-de-sacs a good metaphor for marriage? While many happily married couples are around, it’s more common for people to feel like being married is like hitting a dead-end, with no turning back or moving forward.
In places like the United Kingdom, marriages have fallen by a staggering 50% over the last 50 years. That’s a sign that more people prioritize their freedom over the marriage cul-de-sac.
