Hello and Welcome - Marriage is Sexy and Poetic


This is a blog, mostly for women, about finding and savoring long term love.

This blog is meant to be a practical guide for and discussion about finding the right life partner for you - a person with whom you will enthusiastically create and share a life with, for the long haul.

Wait. Does "the long haul" sound unsexy and mundane? Does it sound uninspiring and unpoetic? It does to me too. I think we need new language to talk about life partner relationships. Because I've found that (so far) the life partner relationship is the sweetest, most liberating, most natural, most energizing and authentic relationship I've ever experienced. It is the truest, most romantic, most raw relationship. Yes, there are the dirty dishes that need to be washed. Every day. There are bills to pay (my husband and I have a weekly "bureaucracy hour" to take care of paperwork - sexy, right?). In the beautiful and fulfilling context of committed long term love, even all of that can feel part of a bigger adventure.
