Musonius Rufus claims that it is the union between a man and woman that leads to the procreation of children, which is one of the ultimate goals of marriage. He claims that a strong marriage and family will lead to a strong home and city. The Red Hot Chili Pepper’s song “Hard to Concentrate” is a love song written by Anthony Kiedis, and is ultimately a marriage proposal. He tells the woman he wants her to become part of his family so they become one. Kiedis describes all of the things a marriage should be according to Musonius Rufus.

Hustle, bustle and so much muscle awww
Cells about to seperate
And I find it hard to concentrate and
Temporary this cash and carry
I’m stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this moment to make you my family and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found
Death defying this mess I’m buying
It’s raining down with love and hate
And I find it hard to motivate and
Estuary is blessed but scary your
Heart’s about to palpitate
And I’m not about to hesitate and
One to treasure the rest of your days here and
Give you pleasure in so many ways dear and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found… here we go
Do you want me to show up for duty and
Serve this woman and honor her beauty and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found… yourself
With me… will… you… agree to take
This man… into your world…
And now… we are as one…
My lone ranger the heat exchanger
Is living in this figure eight
And I’ll do my best to recreate and
Sweet precision and soft collision awww
Hearts about to palpitate
And I find it hard to seperate and
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found… now
All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this woman and make you my family and
Finally you have found someone perfect and
Finally you have found… yourself
