Shouldn't awareness on the fragility of life cause more marriages, not anti-marriages? I mean, it seems like something that would make you want to be with someone, to have someone with you, to maybe do something "life affirming" (as Scrubs put it)...

I guess if we see a rise in love hotel usage or something then it might have basis, but otherwise...
