Desiree and I have been watching Married at First Sight, a reality series that follows a social experiment where complete strangers are matched by a team of relationship experts, including psychologists, sociologists, and spiritual advisors, and agree to marry upon meeting for the first time. The couples meet for the first time at the altar, where they exchange vows.
Most
often, the couples struggle with one issue or another before tearing apart in
the end. After watching an episode, Desiree and I discussed the obvious failure
of most couples to either compromise or fully commit emotionally to one
another.
“I’m
glad that’s not us,” I remarked. “We stick together.”
“We
do,” she said. “Our love is Gorilla Tape.”

How did all those mail order brides in East Helena manage to stick it out all those years?
ReplyDeleteThey not only made it work; they thrived. I'm sure they pushed through some trying days.
