Erik, It's a good thing Meg warned me that you could be rather grouchy on occasion. Otherwise, I might be rather offended by the tone of your note. As it stands, I will simply chalk it up to your having too many meddlesome women in your life: first Meg, then her mother and now myself.
As for your objections to matrimony, I have seen many a marriage formed not out of love or attraction, but out of simple necessity. Sometimes to prevent wars, sometimes to form alliances, and sometimes for money. In short, marriage doesn't necessarily equate love, but perhaps a mutual respect.

I hope you reconsider.
