As human beings, it seems, we are becoming more cerebral, I guess, in order to navigate through the maze of the litany of institutions that now dominate our lives. As economic life become more sophisticated and rights of the individual become more entrenched, marriage contract, I suspect would have to be updated. How?
I have often wondered whether Bill Clinton won't cheat again. Arnold Schwarzenegger, I suspect, in spite of the " i take responsibility " would probably do another 'hit and run," even though he might take precautionary measures to miss making a baby again, just possibly.
I noticed in Bill Clinton's case, Hillary became blind to the feminist movement idealists, and pragmatism probably weighed and reigned over idealism. No one knows for sure how that of Arnold Schwarzenegger would unfold, at least with Maria Shriver. It just goes to show it doesn't matter what faith you profess, or political ideology you subscribe to, whether democrat, or republican, when the shit hits the fan, no one knows what to conjecture on the life after.
I have often wondered if the kids had choice in the matter, what they would want, daddy stays with mummy, or they go their separate ways. I doubt if kids had a choice they would hardly apply the rigid moral rules that seems prevalent in western societies, although France seems to be more accommodating to infidelities.
On the subject at hand, I don't think I would willingly enter into concessions in marriage on some idea, for whatever reason, that some fellow shags my wife. The exclusivity for me is part of the allure, the attraction, and hence the emotional connection. It is a tough sell. I am not a politician, I should not suffer the fate of politicians or celebrities, I am just a simple man that wants a woman, my own, and within boundaries that are all well and thoroughly defined, no trespass please!
