Also, Huxley wasn't concerned with the relationship, he was concerned about the concept of government controlled sexuality. He wasn't poking fun at marriage, he was poking fun at what happens when you let the government sanction what happens in the bedrooms of the people, even if that's by making them fuck a lot.

Oh wow, thanks. They never really do a good job of examining the themes in the books they make you read in high school, and it's been driving me nuts for years exactly what point Huxley was trying to make there. You sort of have to be explicit about that with high school students, because we were all "Free sex with no repercussions? What's the downside to THAT?"
To get more on subject, this is why a lot of people recommend first moving in with your potential spouse and living together a while to see if you can stand one another. The acid test comes once the novelty of sex wears off, and you both get over your crush. That's when your partner's annoying personal habits really get noticeable.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
