Why do people get married?

Years ago, when a friend was getting married, she asked me, "why do people get married?", "for love?", I answered.

Then she said, Jacquelin, JFK's wife once said, "first time you marry for love, then for money, finally, for companionship". Jacquelin shocked the world by marrying a Greek tycoon a few years after JFK was assassinated, it was obvious that it was for a sense of security. Think Princess Diana for a second, she was involved with a rich man when she died, she too, was looking for that sense of security. Money is just the tool to provide that security.

It was weird for my friend to mention that.

This morning, I saw that Farrah Fawcett has passed away. Although she was a 70s and 80s sex icon, I have no recollection of who she was. The interesting story is that she has been romantically involved with Ryan O'Neal since 1980s, with him, they had a son. However, they were never married.

Mr. O'Neal went on the air to tell the world that Ms. Fawcett had agreed to marry him a few days before her death. If it did happen, can you imagine what the wedding would be like? Beautifully sad...
