Update
Cousin's Wedding was ..... well, it went well. Much more than I thought. Maybe I will update later but I think I thought and worried too much about it that I dont even want to spend energy thinking of it right now.
Another Patient story:
This Tuesday I had a regular patient come in. He was telling me of his fun time dressing in drag for the Halloween party they have every year down Church Street. He also mentioned that he and his Partner just celebrated 50 Years of being together! Wow ! What an accomplishment! I told him and congratulated him! I mentioned also it is pretty amazing concidering how things are these days. He agreed. Homosexual or hetrosexual, not many ppl are staying together anymore. Not for long that is.
We started talking of the many theories as to why there is such a high divorce rate or that ppl are no longer being commited to one person for a long period of time. We agreed that the first 5-10 years of marriage is the most difficult (Me not being in a relationship and Him being in a long time homosexual relationship, he is in his mid 70s).
One thing he mentioned in the end was:
"In any relationship, hetrosexual or homosexual, you have to definately find something to replace the sex in a few years"
He went on to explain..... After a few years of marriage or a committed relationship, sex loses its edge. So if you dont have anything else that you enjoy doing with the other person or something that you enjoy or love about them, you will lose interest in that person pretty fast....
Hummm I dont know if I explained what he said that well but thats the jist of it.
Interesting.

I think you explained it very well and being a divorced person I can really see what he means, we had nothing to replace it with and that was not a good thing for our marriage.
I agree. There has to be more to the relationship than just sex. But this is something that ought to be considered before the sex begins. Let alone, before the wedding.
From my perspective, God had it right when He told us that we're to reserve the sexual intimacy for after the wedding. If we don't have the other aspects of the relationship standing firmly, then sex is only going to complicate matters.
But who am I to talk. I'm heading down the path to a divorce as I type this.
