Leave it to you and Karen to give us a bunch of stuff to chew on.

My first impression was a smile of familiarity at treading this sentence:

It's one of those lessons that is likely to make instant sense to those who
already believe it -- and to prove unpersuasive to those who don't.


Does that sound like the outcome of the typical SI political discussion or not? -g

I was struck by the first pience in the group, particularly by the three types of love:

eros: characterized as self-fulfillment
agape: characterized as self-sacrifice
caritas: characterized as as mutual respect

Though I think that healthy marriages contain a mixture of all three, I think I could argue that many marriages consist of a progression from primarily the first (eros) to primarily the third (caritas).

I haven't given enough thought to the questions about the changing nature of marriage as an institution yet, so I'll defer on that.
