I took a marriage class in college too. Maybe it was just my age, but what I recall is talking about sex...a lot. That could just be how I recall things...(showing my priorities at the time.)
But no, I don't think it's defunct. People want to be in love and loved. They want loyalty and safety with their hearts. The proof of this, in our society at least, is a marriage certificate and ring.
I know what I want and what I believe can be. I mean as a "goal"...and it takes some form of committment. Something that says "I'm in this for the long haul..." And I don't know what else says that. Maybe another form of commmitment, but then, isn't it semantics? On the other hand, I'd be taking things so slowly b/c being wrong twice, would be untenable. So yes to marriage as a goal, but GO SLOW towards it...and carefully and thoughtfully and so much more intelligently.
