My son is taking Marriage and Family, a college course. I took a course by the same name, too, one year into my dating relationship with my husband. After 28 years of marriage this year, I'm wondering how things have changed and what the content of his courses might be like.
Will he look at the topic of Starter Marriages? What is the latest advice and what about the stats for prenups? Dynastic marriages, marriages of convenience, marriages of hope...
Love in the linear world...Love sense and love scents. Now we know the science of things, the genetics of attraction perhaps and it is now time to rethink theories of marriage, the marriage gap, ideas of the resintitutionalizing trends of marriage.
Pink is the new color of love. At least in my idea of love as a consumptive thing. Really, it was only an idea I had for a school project and this art piece, left, was part of the visual.
Love isn't a consumptive thing or is it? Marriage should be a dynamic thing and courses about it probably change over time. I hope to get my hands on his textbook.
Sorry - hit the wrong button. The rest of the post is that he had the 12 of us to his house for dinner at the end of the semester.

This just in: Romney has left the race!

Just thinking about how marriage has changed as portrayed on television - wow. I would never have been able to clean house in heels and pearls, ala June Cleaver. I've always liked the term that Roseanne Barr once gave housewives - DOMESTIC GODDESS!
