If I were Elizabeth, I would be worried that eventually someone in the marriage was going to want out. And those poor kids. Imagine not having the stability of knowing that your mom and dad are totally committed to each other. Anyone who has grown up with parents in a less than happy relationship knows it can wreak havoc in the kids.Sierra Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364930724666386832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-91990685928583864492010-12-16T09:13:28.992+02:002010-12-16T09:13:28.992+02:00I'm like a penguin.

I think it is Sue Miller.<br />3) Most everything worth having requires sacrifice (though I wouldn't call being faithful a sacrifice, though some might).<br />4) There are all sorts of marriages, some of which I cannot understand at all, just like I can't understand some people at all. <br />5) In making my own decisions, I try to project how I will feel when I am 80 years old and looking back on this decision. How will I feel about my choice? How will it affect those I love most dearly, who have loved me and invested their lives and energy in me? <br /><br />Forgiveness, faithfulness, care, love, fidelity, trust... these are all things that I want in a marriage (and, thankfully now have).

AIDS didn't exist, and Herpes wasn't really known. This view is the peek into women's liberation convincing women they should want what men want, and with the right psychological rationalization, it worked--many couples were happy for quite a long time.<br /><br /><br />They had to be perfectly matched in LIKING IT that way (neither can be jealous--they can't really be competitive, and they need to maintain some level of affection for each other). they need to be about equally attractive (the whole package, not physically) <br /><br />Because where it falls apart is when one person ends up alone or when they start to try to one-up each other. And in reality, I think most people don't have the right temperament to 'share' their partner, even if they are content to spread themselves around, so it would be a rare couple who REALLY wanted this.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-55616362908128946572010-12-15T18:00:19.841+02:002010-12-15T18:00:19.841+02:00Eee gads. i couldn't do it.

If people really didn't care whom else their significant other was sleeping with, why would they still want to have this kind of power over the other? Something doesn't add up. <br /><br />This also reminds me of a discussion a friend and I have been having about HBO's original <i>Big Love</i>, which is about a polygamous family. What we both like about it is that it is perfectly honest about relationships: we see that a marriage among one husband and three wives really would work . . . and at the same time, we all know that the original couple would have been better off staying a couple rather than branching into a quadruple. It's the pink elephant in the room.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-70946977357384936902010-12-15T16:55:53.479+02:002010-12-15T16:55:53.479+02:00Yeesh!

The sex is too hot for me to want to go anywhere else (sorry for too much info). <br /><br />I know families that have been ripped apart because of infidelity. Sad thing is, the two individual who had the affair are no longer together. So they destroyed the families (and there were lots of young children involved) and hurt their ex-spouses for nothing. Maybe that's what the two characters in the book are afraid will happen to them. Who knows. <br /><br />(PS. I've been a QT blogger for a month now.
