I’m glad somebody is getting married. The question is: Are they getting married for the right reason?

Both sexes have this commitment equals confinement issue.

Maybe the problem is that guys spend to much money before marriage and women ‘put out’ to much before marriage.

For me, there are too many emotions involved to engage in causal sex. I have since adopted the churches view that sex outside of marriage is not a good choice. And while the odds are against me to find a male who believes the same thing, I do hope that he is out there somewhere. Sure I fantasize about the dark brown wavy hair and light blue eyes but what are the odds that ideal will be realized.

Charity begins at home. What good is having a man who spends all his energy with the gang and has none to give his wife. In this respect having a working wife may be an asset because she has outside interests that she’s not on his heels the moment he arrives home. It’s not the quantity of time spent together it’s the quality of the time together. Many guys stop courting the Mrs. after they say I do, then wonder why the she wanders. Same goes for the guys ladies if you don’t make your time with your man special then he’ll get sympathy elsewhere.
of course in my case he was never satisfied and expected me to be in several places at the same time and wondered why nothing got done.

Interesting thoughts. I am not sure the single life is the best way, especially as you get older.

Single life is good with the adequate resources. Otherwise you could always get married and never truly think of it. Physically tied and mentally single, it should work.

Interesting poem.

I think men and women naturally gravitate towards eachother. The need to touch, to mate, to connect. And not in the physical sense. Emotionally, too. To me, someone to laugh with and have a history of shared experiences is an important thing. And any woman that does not want her mate to go have fun with his friends is not secure with herself. My bf is going fishing in Canada for a week and I think it is great—he needs it–been working HARD lately.

This is a great write. You are a thoughtful writer. It shows.

Buried? Ferried?

Ken Bultman: I believe is better to be married, especially if one is fond of one’s own wife, at least. The problem is where to get one, and when to get one. That’s why I got my wife very young. I’m now 58!

Enjoyable poem Ken, interesting view on being single too long, I do like your work.

Great fictional,creative work Ken,I honestly love the way you finished it.The last line should be: wed with kids.
