Sex Rev 2 Hooks Up With This Marriage Thing

September 1, 2008

First, Guy Kawasaki and the Alltops gang call us sexy.  Then, the adult film stars, Matt and Kym, send us some love.  Now, Regia Lynn says we’re nice.  What must my mother be thinking?

TMT Hooks Up

Turns out a few more people read this blog like Regina Lynn Sex Rev 2 

Regina’s a fascinating woman.  Here’s her bio:

Regina Lynn is the award-winning Sex Drive columnist at Wired.com and the author of Sexier Sex: Lessons from the Brave New Sexual Frontier (Seal Press) and The Sexual Revolution 2.0 (Ulysses Press). She is the Tuesday “Sex in the News” guest on Playboy Radio: Afternoon Advice with Tiffany Granath (Sirius channel 198).

I tried to comment to say thanks but oddly enough I couldn’t register.

 Changing Marriage for the Better

Recently I was wondering (aren’t I always) whether marriage licenses should be renewable.  After all, you have to take a test then renew your driver’s license.   Who says marriage isn’t the cause of some pretty dangerous accidents.

Also, Regina raised a point that this ‘recovered lawyer’  missed.  If marriages become renewable, does that change the underlying assumptions about marriage?

Currently, the assumption is that those who marry intent to say together…’til death do us part.  We all know that’s not reality given the high divorce rate in this country. Would  it be so wrong if the basic assumption matched our actions.  Certainly, many consider marriage to be disposable today.  Wouldn’t it be more honest,less harmful and costly to have law follow practice?  What a great question.  Talk amongst yourselves in the comments.

Anyway, I was thrilled to see that Regina  liked the post and recommended it.

The up side of all this naughty sex talk is that I’ve gotten some very intriguing requests to review books and other, uh, products.  Have no worries that TMT will become smut-central; I’m only reviewing stuff I find tasteful, helpful or downright unique.  Gosh, I love my blog.

    I don’t think that we should lower the standards for marriage to suit the changes in society. Despite the high divorce rate, it is for us to uphold the principles involved. I think that if we changed that, people would be even more cavalier about it than they are now (”Oh well, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll just get a divorce”. Marriage is hard work, but it is also well worth the work.
    Maybe we need to think about it more BEFORE we make those vows; make sure that we understand and agree with what we are committing to do.
    I am a widow, but I hope to re-marry someday. I truly believe in marriage, even though my first was a struggle. Guess you can call me an optimist!

Got something to say?
