Unbeknownst to most, however, is that the way marriage is dealt with in America presently is not how it has always been. Relatively recently this way of life has been questioned as couples are choosing to co-habitate without making their relationship “legit”, as more GLBT people are coming out of the closet and seek the right to wed, and as more and more marriages break apart than ever before. The majority of us were brought up in such a way that we were expected to grow up and wed a member of the opposite sex, bear children and rear them so the cycle can continue – that would be the compulsory, Western lifestyle/path I’ve written about before. Millions participate in getting married every year, to see those unions flourish or disintegrate with the years thereafter. This post came at the end of November 2007 and remains one of my favorite from that year:Īh the wonderful phenomena that is marriage.
Taking a break from the madness that is the end of National Novel Writing Month, I thought I would post another nostalgia piece from my first blog, Peaceful Ponderings.
