The day after Christmas, a friend of mine (yes, I have friends...just not very many) asked me when I was gonna find someone & get married. I'm at that age, apparently.
Why?
Why would I want to do that? I've seen a few marriages that have endured the test of time. Seems like more often than not, they endure because the wife is the boss. The husband wears the panties in the family. She decides what everyone will do, & handsome hubby goes along with it. Meanwhile, my folks divorced when I was six. Both remarried many years later & neither relationship worked out well, to put it mildly. Add to that the fact that I have known more divorcees--of both genders--than successful spouses. I've heard more stories of infidelity, emotional (& sometimes physical) abuse, & burnout than I can remember.
There was one time in my life when I was with someone & wanted very much to get married, for life. Needless to say, it didn't work out. We had religious differences.
What is my take on marriage now? Here are a few clips for you:
