With some women you can do that, with others the energy level is just not there.

SEE POST 2885 Stan, That may have been memorex, but it sure felt like live....you continually impress me....honestly. But if that what you think is a possibility in marriage(not the first 5 years of marriage, but marriage marriage) then either there is hope for the institution after all, or you are too precious to ever get married. You wouldn't need to. Because no piece of paper would ever keep you from loving and being with the woman you view as your soul mate. So why get married? If marriage is an extended conversation (which is why there are often times so many fights) why not just share life together, continually dating, keeping the spontenaeity, passion and wonder alive...and that is only if you are lucky enough to find your soul mate. Lucky enough to connect with some one elses spirit. Lucky enough to look into someone elses eyes and see a bit of yourself. Sometimes marriage itself seems like an obligatory step in life, and as a result, people seek to marry, or decide to marry, instead of taking life's journey not as a spectator but as a participant, and along the way, perhaps meeting someone you can connect with, and be silent with.(of course not just the silence you refer to, though I never knew that kind of silence existed!) Someone to particpate in life with, to share hopes and dreams with, just to be with. Not for the sake of a new last name, favorable tax status or a bank account. It seems to me the children born of a couple truly commited to and deeply in love with each other, but not necesarily married, are far better off than children who's parents happen to be married. So thank you for restoring hope for all the women out there who have been fortunate enough to read your post. On se reverra sur les dunes....
