YXZW - Ethica Kagami

thanks to darje of H!O who summarized the contents of the show (she has absolutely nothing to do with my interpretation of this particular text)

"She says that she has noticed, looking at different adult relationships, that love and marriage don't always go in hand, that while you might like someone, he's not marriage material, etc. She thinks it basically should be about being with someone because you like them,"

okay, let's state the STATED:

love and marriage don't always go hand in hand could mean that:

love and marrige may go hand in hand sometimes
or
the person you love might not be the person you're gonna marry (because you just can't marry that person by some fucked up accident by fate)
or
the person you marry might not be the person you love (because you just need to marry, being born into a society that expects all women to marry at some point in their life)

She thinks it basically should be about being with someone because you like them, could mean:

marrying the person you like
or
"being with someone you like" (which isn't in the context of marriage)

do i smell the coffee brewing? ... is this a sign for me? or you?
