( In the old Finnish folk tales it is often told of a quick witted young man who goes dating with a princess and after some adventures and successfully fulfilled tasks "gets a princes and half a kingdom", "and they lived happily ever after". That is how Finnish speaking Finns say that it is often good to think of their own marriage: each lne cares for the things that one is interested in, has kibd of as one's speciality, one's wisdom and strenghg, one's areas of life, and that view opens to the wide world and is a forefigure of having profession of one's own for the kuds, and the whole is coordinated according to civiliced values, common sense ans healthy wisdom of lufe, i.e. according to civiliced wisdom in a well working fair way that is wise in the world and gives fairly room to all individuals, each one living according to lne's wisdom of life, inside civiliced ways and civiliced values.
As I had written this, there came to the street by the corner of this house what sounded like a South-East Asian man on a motircycle, and a truck with a square box like back part, and that was somehow very near the impressiln of those Finnsh folk tales. )
I must remark that I do not have children, and that I have tge impression that in practice many marriages (of others) have not worked out so well, because the people have not been fair enough, and not aimed at just love marriages.
