A Perspective on the Fragility of Relationships
This video features a speaker discussing the gradual breakdown of a relationship, using the metaphor of something running out.

no blowjobs = no granola
Marriage isn't fragile, it just needs maintenance so it doesn't break and go to shit. You have to work on it, forever. Maintaining something is infinitely easier than fixing it once it's completely broken.
