Thoughts of the minute
Recent musings, postings, and commenting on beni's blog have caused me to further think about those subjects upon which her most latest postings have been centered around
(ie marriage).
Upon reflection of couples within my own family, and the lives of popular couples on t.v. shows and celebrity news headliners- seeing as though they are the most reliable of representatives, i have been caused to ask the question "How do you spend the rest of your life with ONE person?". I've come to realize in an epiphany of the moment that being married to someone means, quite literally, spending the rest of your life with ONE person- denying of course the option of divorce, for which i personally have no preference for and shall not address further in this piece. I'm sure many of you readers can understand the frustrations of having to spend more than any minimal time with one person can be aggravating and an altogether and wholly unlovely situation, whether it be a sibling, a friend, or the person sitting next to you on a bus (however, this last example does not include the emotional attachment one would have with a spouse). If by some reason or joke played on you by God, you are caused to spend more than a full day with one person you begin to feel more aggravation, frustration, loathing and general dislike of the person- careful not to venture into the highly volatile area of hate, than love and emotional attachment.
Imagine, as i have have been these past few minutes, about spending every waking AND sleeping moment with ONE other person. Naturally there will be those hours in the day where spouses will not be in the physical presence of one another, but are they still not thinking of the other, and at least speaking to one another, in intervals, during the course of the day? Does this idea not frighten or at least place some hesitation in your minds about marriage and the eternal bonds of the act?
They did in mine,... but the moment has passed.

they still do in mine.
what were you doing up at 6:16 in the morning?
i actually thing the idea of spending all your time together with one person is quite pleasant.
NOT!!
hehe...ya i get just a teeny bit frustrated with a person if i spend too much time with him/her. But then again i love the feeling of friendship and closeness that comes out of spending time together:D
I guess it's a leap of faith. A scary one.
if you're with someone who makes you happy
and the ultimate purpose of life is to be happy
then yeah
it'll be okay
but i, for one,
am not ready for monogamy
maybe later
