I am glad I toughed it out for a few years when my wife went off the beaten track. Today I have a partner that I know will stand by me when things go bad. And she is a brilliant riding partner, always supporting and encouraging me when I struggle. And I know that we will have something to do together that is fun when the kids are all out of the house and things get boring.

 

BUT, you have to have the wisdom to know when you have to tough it out through the storm and troubled waters, and when you have to abandon ship because it is on it's way to the bottom.

Wisdom always comes at a cost.

Same here, and I also don't believe in polygamy, one woman is enough.

.

It reminds me of the cynic's view that whilst bigamy is defined as having one wife too many, so is marriage.... Edited by eddy

I believe that God chooses the partner for us and it is up to us both to keep the marriage together through sacrifice and doing our part without expecting anything in return. If you do this there is a good chance of success. As it says, husbands love your wives unconditionally and wives respect and honour your husband unconditionally. (Know I will get flamed for that one)

This makes zero sense to me, sort of thing I'd expect to hear from an abbey monk in the 16th century.

 

I don't understand why you would want to put blind faith in something as crucial as this, but at the same time expect to get flamed for having this viewpoint. "I choose not to see the light."

To quote Depeche Mode " I think that God's got a sick sense of humour.." Either that or he played a piss matchmaker in some relationships.

Chaps, this is a great thread for many reasons.

 

But as with all threads (and history) when religion starts, things go south.

 

So can we please drop the religious and get back to the focus.

Didn't feel mentioning this on the, I have an idea... thread was important? People were seriously thrashing it out there.

One if the commandments is 'Do not covet they neighbours ox'. If that's not relevant to where this thread went, I don't know what is...

Given your current location I was thinking ram, rather than ox, would be more relevant.
