Women aren't just at home "chained" to their husbands so there are many social/economic factors that still threaten marriage but I still contend that Galfing shouldn't end because you galf with your partner. The grass being on the other side or not is irrelevant because a relationship is a commitment (better and worse, etc in the case of marriage). I'd hate to be in a world where couples waited around till they could "upgrade" their spouse thus I'll NEVER advocate cheating or behavior that results in cheating so if you're a newlywed and your still out there philandering, you DON'T need to be married. What I'm saying is after that honeymoon period ends, more couples should "date" each other rather than fall into a routine. You know how you are when you first meet a girl, my argument is that longtime couples should work at maintaining some resemblance of this because once you take your partner for granted because you feel you already "have them" is when many relationships begin to falter.Michael Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432922129778709502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720842181072272211.post-84453763783887346702011-08-04T07:51:41.440-07:002011-08-04T07:51:41.440-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432922129778709502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3720842181072272211.post-1803655855137445082011-08-04T05:26:37.812-07:002011-08-04T05:26:37.812-07:00I like the idea of a select few getting access to ...I like the idea of a select few getting access to "Galfing: A Young Man's Guide." Sort of like my blog being an invitation only read... except I'm still waiting for people to want to actually read it. Damn.<br /><br />I do think Craig posed an interesting question. Certainly none of us have reached the point yet, but is there a time when galfing ends? I know your immediate response was no, but I do think that is cause for a debate. <br /><br />For example, you mention marriage and the post-honeymoon phase resulting in high divorce rates. What if the reason for the high divorce rates was an immediate result of continued galfing after taking your vows to someone else? They say the grass is always greener on the other side. People in marriage (specifically the post-honeymoon phase) probably come in contact with a lot of people that they would rather be with than their current spouse. Only because to them the person they aren't married to is that greener grass on the other side. <br /><br />If we remove the possibility of galfing after marriage; remove the entire flirtatious opportunity after marriage, do people still have high divorce rates? If you can't see the greener grass, do you still desire it?Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727116215447711304noreply@blogger.com
