I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Marriage can be perceived as a trivial and old-fashioned concept after experiencing it.
This quote by Madonna Ciccone reflects a playful cynicism about the institution of marriage. It suggests that while marriage is traditionally viewed as a significant milestone in life, experiencing it can lead to the realization that it may not hold the value or seriousness that society often attributes to it. By advocating for everyone to marry at least once, she implies that firsthand experience can lead to a humorous or critical understanding of this societal norm.

Some 70% to 80% of all who join the military will return to the civilian workforce. They'll return to communities, and one of the things I've worried about is the increasing disconnect between the American people and our men and women in uniform. We come from fewer and fewer places. We're less than 1% of the population.
