so, now wait a sec.... the life of being married, sittin around on the couch watching TV, arguing over the news, doing general maintenance, loosing most of the romance, and sedating into a job is more attractive than the excitement of the chase, the thrill of the catch, the high of the infatuation, and the need to maintain a high personal standard in order to attact your opposite sex? Tell me again where that thrill is?
I gotta be honest. I think marriage is a great thing and I plan on doing that one day, but 90% of what I hear married people talk about is negative. I sat at a table this weekend with NEWLY WEDS that were discussing.... no, no BICKERING over the stupidist little details of a story they were sharing - NEWLY WEDS! I said "Sounds like these two are married or something." They weren't SUPPORTING each other, they were telling the other they were wrong and providing corrections.
How is THAT attractive? ? Yeah yeah, ya get to hang out with your best, closest friend all the time, grow together, have a warm body in bed... but why are the rest of the good things so easily forgotten and taken for granted? I plan to date my wife for life. Every Friday - or whenever. If she can't accept that level of relationship commitment, then she doesn't understand how great relationships CAN be, and she's not for me.
I'm not gonna seek a "Help mate" which is what a great number of marriages, consist of, I'm seeking a "Lifetime experiences partner" to share in the LIVING of life.
