I did not have sex with that woman in the White House


There is a decay of moral fiber in our society. People and marriages, sadly, have become a disposable commodity. When our digital cameras become obsolete in a year or so, we toss them out and buy a new one.

Sadly, marriages are falling under that category. In some ways, I think people are engaging in what I call serial monogamy: you stay with one person until you get bored then throw them away for something new and exciting.

Whose to blame?

Is there a right or wrong?

We have reality TV now where 25 women vie to tear the shorts off of a single bachelor; we have doctors banging doctors in ORs and call rooms; we have 'desperate housewives' sleeping with the 18 year old landscaper; and don't forget those daily shows where we watch people beating the snot out of each other as they are informed on live TV that their wife is sleeping with their best friend.

Whose to blame?

Are we?

Should someone who wants out be 'forced' to stay in an unhappy relationship...using religious pressure or feelings of guilt?

Kalni..everytime you...we....hear of another neighbor involved in an affair...or, another friend going through a D...our wound is torn open a little bit. 60/40.

Is there an answer? Should couples go thru counseling before getting married? Should married couples be forced to go thru 'atraction classes' every 5 years like doctors must earn 50 credits of continuing medical education each year to keep on top of the game? Should marriages be for 5 years only with an option to 're-up' for another 5?
