The other night I had one of my trademark strange dreams. In that dream I was married. I also had a daughter around three or four years of age. I also got into an argument with my nameless, faceless wife. It was kind of bizarre. Let me set the scene... In the dream, I'm married … Continue reading The Imaginary Argument
Marriage
Question of the Week #280
While on a trip, your spouse spends a night with a stranger. If you knew they'd never meet again and you wouldn't otherwise find out about it, would you want your partner to tell you? If roles were reversed, would you confess what you'd done? How serious would an affair need to be before you'd … Continue reading Question of the Week #280
Question of the Week #266
If you knew it would completely estrange you from your friends and family, would you follow your heart and marry a person you loved? Yes. I mean... if friends and family are rightly warning me that the person I love is also secretly a super-villain bent on global destruction and/or domination, I would hope I … Continue reading Question of the Week #266
I’ll Be There For You
I'm certain we've established that I, from time to time, have some pretty freakin' bizarre dreams. Exhibit A. At times, they can be kind of disturbing. Exhibit B. Recently, I had a dream that was, yes, bizarre. But it was less disturbing than it was incredibly awesome. In this dream, I was married. But I … Continue reading I’ll Be There For You
Question of the Week #172
Would you be content with a marriage of the highest quality in all respects but one - it completely lacked sex? I suppose, if this were a marriage that extended from the life I currently know, I wouldn't know what I was missing. I once heard someone describe sex in marriage as a bonus and … Continue reading Question of the Week #172
Question of the Week #122
If you were happily married, and then met someone you felt was certain to always bring you deeply passionate, intoxicating love, would you leave your spouse? What if you had kids? Whether I had kids or not, the answer is absolutely no. If I'm married, it means I already met the one person whom I … Continue reading Question of the Week #122
Another Parenthood Post
I recently wrote about how I had been binge watching the Parenthood TV series via Netflix. As I have navigated my way through the latter seasons, something occurred to me which caused me to connect a character in the show to my personal life. Actually, not so much my personal life as the personal life … Continue reading Another Parenthood Post
Question of the Week #42
How would you react if you were to learn that your mate had had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other? My honest, initial reaction would probably be one of shock. But really I don't think it would have any more effect on how I felt about her than if I … Continue reading Question of the Week #42
Day Thirty
A Dream for the Future This seems really similar to yesterday's post. As I mentioned before, I'm not really one to plan for the future. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. And, while I don't necessarily think of myself as a pessimist, I'm definitely not an optimist. I joke around with … Continue reading Day Thirty
Question of the Week
If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it? It's tough to say how I'd respond in that situation. I assume that if I was in love enough to be engaged to someone, then I'd be in … Continue reading Question of the Week
