THE BLISSFUL COUPLE

Summer's here - A time for vacations. A time to reconnect and recharge the batteries.
A time for relationships to blossom; At the beach, the mountains or even in your own backyard, in your gazebo, with a gin and tonic and soft music as the background. Doesn't it feel sinfully delicious? Of course, much depends on whom you're with; Here is a perfect couple. Their love will never die............if only all our relationships could be so tender, so giving, so full of assurances that our love is returned unconditionally............

They laugh together.
Read together.
Dance together.
Paint together.
Listen to music together.
Walk, holding hands, together.

They love exchanging

Warm
Wet
Mushy
Kisses.

He rushes to greet her,
His arms outstretched,
Joyfully calling her name,
When he sees her arrive.

Who, are you wondering,
Is this blissful couple?
She is his grandma.
He is almost five.
(Dorothy Parker)

Reading it brought to my mind the scenes from love actually.

cynic,
That's a good question to put out to FEMALE bloggers, and I wonder, do any of the MALE bloggers in our community ever feel like breaking away? It might be easier for them.....easier to stay inside the religion and easier to change the lifestlye a little.
Truth is, from some of the e-mails that I've gotten, there are quite a few - male AND female, who feel this way.
There is an answer. One CAN stay, and not feel trapped, if one has "the blissful partner". Then, it would never be a trap. It would be what it's supposed to feel like - a beautiful lifestyle to be shared.
BTW - if you liked Pearl Abraham's first book, try to read her second book, "Giving up America", and best of all, her latest, "The Seventh Beggar". Very good

"Let's start the spouse free vacation club! Sign me up!"

I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS VACATION CLUB PLAN MAY ATTRACT A LOT OF PEOPLE...too bad that so many of us feel that way, and not the way I envisioned it in my post. A lot of hopes have been dashed and have travelled South in our marriages.

It was a beutiful poem. At first I was thinking of my wife. We just got back from a weekend in the Berkshires where we lived that poem (except for the painting and I'll stop there) and I LOVE the twist at the end. I am bookmarking it. It goes to show that "love" is an amazing emotion that is limitless and all around us providing we are receptive to it. It is so sad when parents dont hug their children or couples that can't hug. For those who aren't next to the ones they love there is always Virtual Hugs

Sorry I've been so preoccupied and haven't answered anyone. Sahm, I hope you make sure that YOU have a great summer - with or without him!
NormalJew ....you're right. It's not a bed of roses, this marriage deal, unless you get the real long-stemmed rose, the perfect match, your best friend........and many don't. But you DO have your children, as you said, and that's everything!

In my previous post, I told you about an elderly couple; the wife is very sick.
Her husband asked me to say t'hillim for her for a Refuah Shelaimu, and so I am also asking you to have her in mind when you daven.
Her name is BEILA BAS MINDEL
Thanks...........

I agree! It needs to be taught that there is nothing wrong with Oral sex and pleasing your partner. Believe me guys, If my wife had just been taught normal sex ed in he Frummie school I would be making love to her in a beautiful way instead of finding other women to fuck.

That is the story of my life, I aint proud of it, but thats the story.

And Plenty of frum men from BP, Monsey, Lakewood, and othewr jewish communities have such bad sex lives at home that they have to resort to fucking
'other' women ( or men)

It is an epidemic, but it is the truth folks!


You may say I am messed up, but it is the fuckin frum system that messed me up!

Stop talking about "Torah. Torah, Torah" all day, and teach boys and girls that it is OK to passionately french kiss your spouse, and have out of this world oral sex!!
