But what the...? This is quite alarming! The power these guys think they have. My great uncle and his new love went to great lengths to ask church elders (this all makes me puke) whether they should get married or not, and in what time frame.I thought he was an intelligent man (guess Tom Cruise COULD be seen to be but that's a different religion again). My great uncle and his intended wife were in their late 70's at the time and divorced from former partners for many years.If you can't lead your own life and make your own decisions when you're nearly 80, when can you!They married each other,and divorced, which I think would have happened with or without the advice.Of course the church didn't advise these oldies, with a right to lead their own lives, to live together first.It seems pretty simple to me. Love God, love and honour each other,be kind,hurt no-one, be happy.(notice I left out obey). Oh if only it were that simple eh? What you wrote so descriptively is both intruiging and fascinating,but must be painful for you on reflection.Beautifully done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-49483937849940489922009-11-18T19:12:45.080-08:002009-11-18T19:12:45.080-08:00Harrold!
