I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate.
I don't believe in forever or love as a mystical state.
I don't believe in the stars or the planets or angels watching from above,
But I believe there's a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love
And make it last.--Neil Peart (music by Rush), "Ghost of a Chance"
That actually sums up my feelings on marriage pretty well, all in all.
We are our own destiny.
