I'm not sure I even know what it means to love someone in the romantic relationship department. In my experience there is always some piece that is missing from the puzzle...and I'm not sure what the puzzle is supposed to look like.
after awhile, if one isn't in a realtionship, you do sort of forget about stuff...unfortunatley, we have hired a bunch of young teachers over the last 5 years who have been getting engaged....
five have gotten engaged this year....do you know how frustrating it is to have the twenty-somethings come floating on air monday after they havebeen asked the infamous question? They don't let you forget about the magic...

But the song and dance is the best part. That's the falling in love part. And once you get to where most people get (ten years into the relationship or whatever) they miss that part.

I'm not sure it would work...isn't there something in the bible about YECs not marrying OECs. I'd be shunned.
Seriously, Enigma, mariage is a great institution...but who wants to live in an institution?

I've been thus institutionalized for 22 years soon to be 23. No desire to be set free yet!

Yes Indeed. It is imperative to Survive within the Institution. It is so nice to be in the IN Crowd

I know, I know, we can sound pathetic sometimes, but it really isn't fun to watch all of this happening ....it would be like being at the starting line of a race and watching everybody else get to go....and while this could be ok for awhile since other people are still with you, as more and more people get to start the race (and those younger!) and you are left in the trail of dust, it gets less and less enjoyable. (and harder and harder to cheer those who get to start!)
As to OEC's and YEC's, my brother (YEC) and sister-in-law (OEC) are happily married for 15 years. I think they simply agree to disagree.
My dog's surgery means I get to not go (yes!) and not look churlish.

Yeah but can you throw your clothes wherever you want to, eat over the sink, and have full control over the remote at all times?
Okay, now I'm depressing myself. lol

As it should be in such cases.
