Random Thoughts: Sixty-Six Percent

I was having a conversation with a friend and the subject of passion in a relationship came up (or rather the lack of). It came up that all marriages end up being more like life partnerships and less about the romance. OK, so I agree with the life partnership thing. But I have to strongly disagree with the no romance (less prevalent romance) part.

For me, I can not marry someone who isn’t the zest of my life. I can not live without moments where I’m just hanging out with the woman of my life and the next moment we’re all over each other. How did it happen..? Who knows? Who cares? But to have the x-factor missing in my marriage is something I can not live without. What’s the point of getting married if there isn’t any passion? I mean, it’s only one of three things that are exclusive to the sacred union.

Building a home, building a family and romance are the three things that are exclusive to marriage. Everything else you can get elsewhere. And to tell me that I’m going to be missing one-third of what make’s my marriage so wonderful is something that I can't live with. You're pretty much saying that my relationship is 66% of what it could be.

Fuck that.
