(Too many choices today) Is this why they call marriage an institution? When people finish doing their time, they get out, only to start the whole process again. I'm staying put!

We have to have one to drive, own a business and get married, we should have to have one for spawning. If you're an idiot, in-bred, a drug/alcohol addict, under 25 or otherwise deemed incompetent, you won't be given a license. <br><br>I love the full disclosure. I would have loved it before I got married both times. Next time (if there is a next time - I'm not sure I want to train another one) I'm hiring a private investigator. Love is definately NOT enough to ensure a happy marriage. I've encouraged my daughters to cohabitate before marriage as well. That way they'll know ahead of time if they can live together, or if all the dirty little secrets (like, he picks his toe jam) are too much to bear.<br><br>love this series!<br>=) kris<br><br>http://journals.aol.com/kristeenaelise/thedailypurgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-85628356370414543022005-08-16T15:56:00.000-05:002005-08-16T15:56:00.000-05:00Sounds like the marital equivalent of the nuclear ...Sounds like the marital equivalent of the nuclear deterant - I don't think many people would go for it somehow. Can you then imagine how many single people there would be wondering around unhindered by a nagging him or her indoors. Life's seed would end up scattered even more willy-nilly and we'd be over-run by wild feral children like we are in some parts of the UK! Margaret Mead's ideas are the ultimate utopian dream but unlikely to work in reality (some people huff and puff at having to take a driving test!) Generally, I think "Marriage" is working the way it is. Purely because most people are staying married (just). So at least it keeps a fair proportion of otherwise rampant individuals from marauding the streets.<br>Tillyx<br>http://journals.aol.co.uk/tillysweetchops/Adventuresofadesperatelyfathouse/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-20598016523447384492005-08-16T19:45:00.000-05:002005-08-16T19:45:00.000-05:00You've got me convinced Mrs. L.......I'm d...You've got me convinced Mrs. L.......I'm divorcing Alexis to free her from this oppresive institution! <br><br>Chris<br>http://journals.aol.com/swibirun/Inanethoughtsandinsaneramblings<br>http://journals.aol.com/swibirun/MyJournalJarSaturdaySixetcanswerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-19959965473116698382005-08-16T21:04:00.000-05:002005-08-16T21:04:00.000-05:00What makes us think we know anything?
