Many people stay married when the relationship is fraught. The reward is longevity--a form of aging that produces notable even profound vintages of human beings. Nuns are married to Christ. "Marriage de convenance" is French for the kind of utilitarianism in which love plays a small part. Fungibility characterizes these transactions where even an itinerant or pro forma kiss might be monetized. You read about bad and abusive relationships all the time and wonder why people stay together when one or both are so unhappy.
