Whoooo Boy (Oh girl wouldn't touch this one)

The thing is, I would do most of these things for someone I loved, that's no big deal at all. This article is rooted, however, in the mentality that society depends on this specific code of interaction between men and women. It is not out of love, but duty that social mores like these are generated. This is why the question of a different kind of home is never asked. Maybe there are 2 incomes. (unheard of in 1955, unless of course you were poor----then it was a perfectly conceivable reality for you) Of course, the case of the stay-at-home dad was not even a fantasy back then, so we won't go there. Two mommies? Two daddies? absolutely not. (Even though gays and lesbians existed then as they do now, and made homes together) Is it really any wonder that there's a more than %50 divorce rate---look at the baggage every traditional marriage has to carry, with all of the duty talk and pre-fab constructions of married life, who's thinking clearly about whether marriage (and or children) is right for them, right then?
People pray to JESUS to save their marriages, as if he has ANYTHING to do with either spouse's shortcomings.

I watched an excellent documentary the other day titled Three of Hearts.
It's about, you guessed it, a menage a trois, but in the more traditional sense of the expression-- 3 people making a home together. 2 bisexual men in their late twenties with a 7 year relationship under their belts decide they would like to bring a woman into the mix. They date around for a bit and find Samantha, a gorgeous, 22 year old aspiring actress from Canada. These three lively spirits are all attracted to each other, and proceed to spend the next THIRTEEN years together--including several apartments in New York, a thriving day-spa they build from the ground up, 2 kids, and a dog. How is this possible, you ask? how can 3 people cohabitate romantically for more than a decade? Without revealing too much about the documentary, there's a simple principle at work. I'll give anyone who wants to a week to watch it (i got it randomly @ the Naro Expanded, it is fascinating) and I'll talk more about it next time.
