There's an interesting book called The Way of a Superior Man by David Deida you might want ot pick up.
If you can ignore his "drop your woman if she's not into you" crap, he's very, very insightful about sexual polarity in relationships. He points our that if a man loses his mission in life, he masculinzes his woman and the sexual polarity/attraction is lost. This may or may not apply to your situation.
If you want to keep divorce busting and can ignore some of his buddhist/secular drop your woman stuff, it's a great book. I wasn't quite able to figure our the tantric sex stuff he talks about. ;-)
If you want a more Christian version of this, try Wild at Heart by Ron Eldridge.
Yes, Lord of the Rings is a bit tough to get through.
Maybe see the movies again...extended version ;-)
Have a bunch of guys over and see it over three weekends.
Here's another poem...it's by a character called Eomer, who is about to charge the enemy, knowing, perhaps, it will be to his death. But he will fight, none the less. It's in that wonderful Anglo-Saxon alliterative cadence...it's dark, brooding and brave but it speaks of a warrior's heart. Of course, he survives the battle and win's fame and glory. The first song I quoted you was the funeral song for his uncle, Theoden, who died in the great battle.
Eomer's Song
Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
It gives me the goosebumps....
Come on 8, let's sing it together... at least the first 2 lines:
Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
