While I plan on being married "until hospice" as it states in the article, CJ and I have made many transformations from the 26 and 27 year old couple that married 15 years ago. I recently had a nine year old student tell me that she and her cousins were "playing wedding" at her uncle's recent wedding - throwing the bouquet, pretending to walk down the aisle, etc. - all the fantasy that the article discusses. Because many children do not have role models for happy marriages, I think a marriage "option" such as the 20 year contract would provide all couples with an opportunity to engage in a meaningful discussion (discussions!) with their partner before running out to by the sparkly dress and veil.Tammy Renzihttp://www.hoombah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622542519010439910.post-49794862473880005522012-10-12T00:51:16.889-05:002012-10-12T00:51:16.889-05:00Ha, ha!

Now I have had ...Sorry my last comment was so lame! Now I have had time to read the article. Dr. Rutter may be right. The fantasy is believing that as a couple, you can simply take on anything, and the relationship won't crack. My wife and I do not have children, we rarely see family, we have degrees and a comfortable income and are self-employed. All of which allows us to dote on each other while working very hard on ourselves. I think marriages fail when you don not have two people that can bring it. It is a fantasy to think that marriage will work when one of you or both is not interested in getting much done or in having a lot of fun together. cj renzihttp://www.hoombah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622542519010439910.post-4352501001549302452012-10-07T20:20:14.802-05:002012-10-07T20:20:14.802-05:00Yeah!

My wife and I keep our focus on FUN. Paradoxically, we work toward it. cj renzihttp://www.hoombah.comnoreply@blogger.com
