The other day at work we had a pre-matrimonial breakfast for a co-worker. He made the claim that marriage won't be any change because it's like they're married already. I said marriage is different than living together and that commitment changes things. It's not that one doesn't feel like bailing sometimes, but that there is more intention to staying. Women over the age of fifty agreed. Men and women under the age of forty disagreed. I call this decade in between, where I dwell coincidentally, The Great Divide. Not sure whether it's an age thing or a cultural difference between when the younger and the older were raised. The guest of honor is also forty something, so which side if the divide will he be on?
I brought the coffe, juice, plates, plates and napkins. The DH brought bagels, lox, and pastries. Everybody else just attended.
