Re:Ciel
No Ciel it seems if we are doomed to fantasize . You know what happens when the bubble bursts, I suppose contentment should take over
Lets face it without that fantasy we would always be content to leave things as they were.
I suppose basically the idea was for the male to provide for his offspring
within a glow of paternal satisfaction. Ha ha. .
Perhaps on other advanced planets there are communal nesting areas
where eggs are deposited. The State will contrive to rear the hatchlins
and ensure a proper upbringing.

Re:
Yes of course you are right Jimmy and it is better to be able to agree to disagree at times. I have also seen dominant women and placid husbands, that is not so cute.

Re: Pat
OK Pat I think luck has a lot to do with it. Lets face it as well, most marriages used to be forged within a limited area, folk with the same outlook and prospects. If there had not been a war you would have probably fallen for the boy in the next street. Or don't you think so. When choice is limited Nature usually sticks its oar in, I guess.

Re: Justi
Well Justi a good kind man helps even if the wife is a bit crotchety. Not for one moment meaning you of course. Also against the odds some do not want to untangle.

Re: Kabu
Yes you were a bit of a blazing star Kabu . Probably easily flattered or somehow lonely as you enjoyed a sweet childhood. You eventually discovered our Wiley and you have probably prolonged his life, hopefully now for a good few years to come.

Re: CCT...
No of course not Rumour . You have learned the secret of compromise, but it is deadly when only one achieves this quality. You have a lovely wife as I have told you before. No need to tell her though. The proof is in the pudding.

CCT...there is no secret to reality and a "successfuL" marriage...
Some people would probably say, if they had to live our marriage, "Geez, Rumour! This is just plain boring," and they might be right in their own eyes...its not all dull and boring - facing life's challenges together is like an adventure we've lived with plenty of our own fantasy thrown in....

Re: pricklypear
Carolyn your tongue is sweeter than honey. You however deserve an answer. It would definitely ruin it for you. I am just the usual stick insect camouflaged by my non appearance. Now Uncle Albert is a real lovable scoundrel but he is thinking of emigrating to a warmer clime. See no mystery.

I like the idea of shopping to wake oneself up...Uncle Arthur gives us a lot to ponder...As for your question at the end of the poem, I have wondered that myself.

we sometimes don't realize it was for the wrong reasons until we look back ...they say love is blind but i think the truer statement will be ... your not a horse...so take the blinders off and get a gander!

uncle Arthur has some very good points about marriage. I don't think that people today are as prepared to suffer through a bad marriage as much as they used to be. For one thing women have other options these days and have an education.
Me!!! i married twice and they were both a mistake, one just two kids who had nothing in common got star struck which soon wore off and the other was .....anyway i had given up on love until I accidently met Wiley and the rest is history as they say.

I like the words on marriage. I am blessed now I have a good one and cannot tell you any secret of how that was accomplished. My first one could not be fixed with all the tools in the box. Don't have a clue! You are such a master at the art of poetry, often it swoops right over my head even when I find the emotion. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Somehow, in spite of my own experience to the contrary,
I continue to hope there's such a thing as a match made in heaven, a Mr. Right for every Miss, and maybe even a happily ever after. But I'm not so hopeful for it that I'd jump head first into a pond before I tested its depth or made sure there were no whirlpools.

This seems like a pretty good dissertation on marriage and relationships. Yes, I too have heard of people getting together for probably the wrong reasons, the bulk of which don't seem to come to light until well after the fact. There has always been dissention between people ( thus the many wars that have been fought ), but when it comes to relationships, it's probably more keenly felt because it's a one-on-one situation. My wife and I have our differences, but we also have a lot of common ground, and are mature enough and in love enough not to allow those handful of differences to create any major problems. I think Uncle Albert would agree with me . . .

Uncle Albert has some interesting things to say.
When people meet in circumstances that are thrilling and urgent, decisions are based on who the other seems to be, but these are often projections of who we want them to be. Then, through day-to-day living, we discover who they really are, and they discover who we are, and it isn't Prince or Princess Charming, after all. It's not made better by a culture that considers divorce a high scandal, or an economy that can't support seperate lives.
So... that said, let's get on with fantasy, since we aren't inclined or likely to give it up.
