He said his mom is OK with us sleeping together (we live together now). I told Him I’m uncomfortable with that. He said we’re married in God’s eyes already. What do you think? Unsure Dear Unsure, You obviously have some old fashion morals still stirring within you. Your fiancé doesn’t seem to appreciate where you’re coming from. I remember the days when no couple would dare offend their parents by such behavior in their home, but alas times and parents have changed. Do what you’re comfortable with. Many years back the Church did not get involved in marriage. It was strictly a civil thing. People began seeking the blessings of their church and marriage ceremonies evolved. There was a time when marriage was simply an agreement between two consenting people or families. Mores and accepted behaviors do change because people change them. Are they better or worse? Depends who you ask. My approach to life is more conservative but I tend to get irritated with the legalists of the world who see everything as black and white. Let a loving heart decide your reality. Al Dear Boomer Al, My husband and I are going on vacation together with a group of friends. Now I find out that the resort we’re going to is clothing optional and some of my friends want to try it. My husband is angry and says I’m a prude for not wanting to go along with it. I have no desire to have others see me or my husband nude and to have my husband look at other girls! They want me to try it and then decide. Help! Nervous Dear Nervous, Most Americans are pretty naïve in these areas. Many foreign beach resorts are ambivalent about beach nudity. Having done considerable traveling we have been to such places where nudity is common. You can usually pick out the young American tourists in a second because they are gawking and giggling. Despite everyone’s fantasy about it most people are pretty unattractive fully nude. We are not accustomed to it and I assure you that the people who do it rarely see anything sexual about it. Sun and sand both combine to make it uncomfortable and unhealthy. Real life is different than movies and magazines. Most people are pretty self conscious about their bodies. I’m willing to bet that nobody goes through with it anyway. Nudity in itself is not immoral unless it’s done for immoral reasons, but mix in sun, alcohol, music, water, youth, well you get my drift and opportunities are bound to exist. How much temptation are you all willing to handle? Relax and enjoy your vacation and don’t do anything you don’t want to. Your husband needs to respect your decision. It’s a stupid thing to fight about. Happy New Year! Al Need to buy or sell a house ... check this out! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ It never fails. A new year is about to begin and we find ourselves with a whole host of things we have failed to do to improve who we are and how our life is. So we decide this year it will be different. The problem of course is while we all know what we should do, we are burdened with the reality of what we're willing to do. I'm overweight. The only true solution is a vigorous exercise program. I've started numerous times. It's lonely, boring and uncomfortable. Now that's the spirit! I'll get far with that attitude! I have a friend who has done everything to get me going like calling me a fat pig and a lazy bum. Very funny. Him with his narrow waist and big muscles. He's a freak. I hate his guts and he really sucks. I hope he gets vericose veins and a hernia. But he's right of course. He still sucks. And he's a Packer fan. What else! Did I mention he was short too? Going bald. It's cold where he lives. Caring is tough work sometimes. He hates to read. :) Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ... The Forum at Boomer Journals _.·´¯) Boomer Ha Ha! (¯`·._ The Bible tells us to love our neighbors and our enemies. It's probably because they tend to be the same people. _.·´¯)Attitude Counts! (¯`·._ "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood. and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
