A "perfect marriage" is a contradiction. You have to behave yourself in a marriage and that's really,really imperfect. Think of all the ladies who are then denied access to all those accomplishments you have. It's a crying shame is wot I say guv.
Do you have any faults?
Yes, I'm not perfect.
But I think a perfect marriage can be had if the two partners (and I mean partners literally)- act as partners- a team if you will -with an end goal toward which they both agree to work and a willingness to work together to reach that. It can look like anything at all - that all depends on the individual people- as long as the two people involved agree on the circumstances and are happy with them.
Isn't it unfortunate that this is the exception rather than the rule in our society? Do you think that's inevitable, just because people being people are by definition usually selfish and self-motivated?
But if people are-
Quote:usually selfish and self-motivated?
shouldn't that be accepted. You can't have it both ways.
Do you like having it both ways?
It's the only way to divinity Spendius (your talking half sense today for a change) and divinity means sublime existence for those who be merely mortals.
I don't know what enjoyment you acquire in Aidan bashing though, it is rather one sided, don't you think you should make a profound and sincere apology to her for all the hastle, grief and aggravation you have been heaping down on her and consequently applauding your own self greed and somewhat irritable self-motivation?
I do like having it both ways, I admit. That's 90% of my problem. I can never decide or choose which option is more important or realistic so I **** things up trying to do or have both.
I think if you get two people who can live with however each of them are selfish and self-motivated - it can work out. Especially if they're both selfish and self-motivated to a somewhat equal degree.
If you get one real asshole however married to a total sweetheart - that's just sad to see and a recipe for disaster.
Mathos - Spendius is being really nice to me today. He called me his playmate. That's all the apology I need. What's in the past is in the past. And anyway - I can't pretend to be exactly angelic all the time- I have my own greedy, selfish moments, believe me.
But do you believe that sometimes what can look to be purposeful is entirely coincidence?
Yes. My father met my mother in a hullabaloo in the revolving door of The Ritz when she had gone on the wrong side so you reading this is the result of pure coincidence.

Don't you think you read far too much into consequential events Young Lady, I say it's either, you say it's either. In fact it could be neither, certainly never neither. I rather think you would shine as a conspiracy theorist or activist, do you wonder who the hell killed Cock Robin?
For years, I went through life overcoming problems and looking for more, that took me along many roads. Marriage is a system of togetherness strengthened by a knowing of each others minds, if you don't have that knowledge it won't work, unless of course you wish to class existence as living.
Arthur Askey called everybody 'Playmate' it was a catchy saying at the time, nothing more, 'Bedmate' is far more a reasonable expression to use if you want to get the message across, wouldn't you agree?
Pipped ya ya baldy-heady, fat fart box.
According to the rules the question is

Oi, oink, your getting lippy all of a sudden, I take it you have been to the pub. Dutch courage can get you shiners in the right places.
Weren't you aware of that?
Pipped again. Sheesh you're slow.

Must have been 'Happy Hour' in Bradford.
Do you know what a Mongolian is dick 'ead or are you confusing the name with Hmong?
No, I don't think so Spendius. I can't imagine a robot saying what he said about marriage being "a system of togetherness strengthened by the knowing of each other's minds." Really lovely Mathos.
Spendius that's a great story - your parents meeting in a revolving door incident. Mine met on a blind date and got married on a Friday the 13th 53 years ago. Some things are just meant to happen I guess.
I often think I should have been an activist Mathos. You're really astute sometimes.
But what the heck are you talking about conspiracy theories again for?
The Cross is in the ball park Young Lady, I explained that to you some time ago. Why do you have this habit of thinking we have discussed certain subjects before Aidan? I feel totally bemused by some of your questions for one so well read.
Any man who will fight to the death, cross over, and over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine. I wouldn't mind betting 50p you know who said that Young Lady?
Not only am I not a young lady (a Young Lady indeed-who you trying to kid) but that wasn't a question. And what crap about "fighting to the death" which is obviously something you never did.

My only question is why does this thread get so serious on occasion? Particularly when the three of you are together, no?
Don't be so daft Becksie. I would swap with any of these mites I see being wheeled about in prams especially the ones whose Mums have big tits.
I hadn't realised I was being serious.
Goodness gracious me!
Do I come over as being serious?
Not at all. Infantile maybe, but not serious.
So you'd like to go back and start all over again?
(Do you even realize what you're admitting here?)
I'm not admitting anything. I would give everything I have to start again. I would takes my chances, Duke's fourth son by the maid for preference, as long as I'm in England. A darling son of course because my three elder brothers are ugly stupid sods which my father had to prove derived from the maternal line. I'd take a big mortgage out for that.
Would you not like being the maid's daughter by the blacksmith who I played with and being 18 months older always knew what was best?
