Your last paragraph is insane

It is also untrue. I have no mission for my marriage, or my children. Neither did my parents, or my wife's parents, nor do my siblings. No divorce in that cohort, and no abandonment.

If you want it to be a good marriage, and to make your partner happy, is that not a mission?

Same goes for children.

If you truly couldn’t care less about them then there’s no mission there, but most people do.

With this broad stroke breakfast also becomes a mission, if you want to have energy for the rest of the day. The false dichotomy also applies here, either you do it and it's great, or you don't and dine your failure.
