Uh, Buddy, I was speaking in broad terms. I claimed marriage is doomed because of people like you. I did not claim that YOUR marriage is doomed.
But now that you have taken the statement so personally, I am beginning to think I touched a raw spot in you, and that the spot is raw for a reason. Your marriage needs not suffer.
I was out skiing with one of my little boys recently when he asked if our lives would be the same had I married someone else. I told him that I could marry anyone and make it work, though I may not be as enthralled, nourished and happy as I am now with his mother. The point is to find someone who is dedicated to loyalty and sacrifice and service and duty, more than they are dedicated to sex and affection. Where these former virtues exist in plenty, and I mean in PLENTY, affection, passion and sex also exist in plenty. All of it together, all of it, is love. |
