What's Love?

Last weekend, my sister booked a room in York Hotel and invited us to stay overnight with her. She and J held their wedding dinner there and got a extra complimentary night. Everyone is pretty excited and have planned to go swimming, shopping (Far East Plaza is just 5 mins away) and chit-chatting.
J is supposed to pick us up on Sat afternoon before checking in the hotel. Suz called me shortly and told us to take a cab and pick her up. She and J have a nasty fight and he's now refusing to go to the hotel. My sister (being a strongheaded woman who refuses to budge in) without saying another word, went downstairs and waited for us. The whole evening is a drag, everyone is in a foul mood, except my lil happily running and rolling on the room carpet.
She is only married for a year (ROM) and 3 months (ceremony) and divorce is already on the cards. What I can conclude is that communication is the main cause of the breakdown, my sister works 10pm - 9 pm and J works regular office hours. By the time my sister gets home, it's bedtime for J's. They seldom talk and when they do, they like to exchange harsh and sarastic words. Why can't a married couple talk and be nice to each other?? R.E.S.P.E.C.T!!! A small tiff is common but it's critical if you starting to hate the other party.
It almost seems that a competition for best argument is being held, both vying to win and breaking the other person's feelings. To her, J is neither a Don Juan nor a nice listener. To him, she's a partying queen who didn't want to have a kid. They have decided to have a "cool down" period before deciding anything. Both have their flaws and faults but I am only listening to one side of the story and I do not want to take side on any party.
Marriage is not a game and should NOT be taken it so lightly.
Why can't love can be a simple thing?
Why can't love be uncomplicated?
Why can't love be not hurting?
What's L.O.V.E?
