“Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards,” said Benjamin Franklin. Was the movie, “Eyes Wide Shut” about marriage? (Actually, what the hell was that movie about?) Which of the following best captures the magic of marriage for you?

I’m going with cartoon #3, based purely on the marriage experiences of others that I have witnessed up close and personal and otherwise. I guess the same can be said for non-marital relationships, too, however, I suspect there is always drama in any relationship.
Humorous, but none of the above apply to marriage as I know it. I like to say:
“Marriage is a gas no matter who does the cooking!”
Beth, I must confess that Adrienne and I have had some great laughs related to “passing the gas,” but I don’t think that’s what you mean.
Ouch! Yeah well, I think its so lovely when it seems to work for a couple but also that that is so very rare. I also consider it very brave to TRY to make it work. I’ve never had that kind of courage or optimism.
Good distinction with “TRY,” Neola.
You are so honest about yourself. That takes HUGE courage, so in some ways, you have a pretty damn good relationship with yourself. xoxo
There is an element of truth in the cartoons and people are so much more complicated.
However I enjoyed the laughs.

Depends on one’s definition of and tolerance for “drama”!
Is this THE Larry? I don’t believe that you have ever commented before, and I initially marked this comment as “Spam.” How’s that for drama? xoxo
