The Thing About Love

Yeah, all the benefits… total access to another person’s body, money, time, attention, dreams, thoughts, fears, gifts, talents.  I think it’s called marriage.

I think the whole concept of “friends with benefits,” “fuck buddies” or whatever really misses the point (unless the point is just sex).  Funny how sex comes with baggage, almost always… in the form of affection, intimacy, jealousy, longing, wandering thoughts, neediness, clingy-ness, etc.

Your best friend of the opposite sex, that’s the leading candidate for marriage.  Get married.  Commit to a wild, life-long love affair, and get busy!

Agree?
