Love Makes the World Go Round!

Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky once said, "I had to get married. That's what you did in those days! You didn't just have affairs." And this was so true!

Years later, Gardner McKay of TV's "Adventures in Paradise" once said that he had serial relationships, and he did not get married until he was almost 50-years old.

However, while this worked for Gardner, Elizabeth was right! In her day, one didn't just "hook up". The world has changed today. Permanent relationships are the exception to the rule. And therefore, all of the people out there who have been like Gardner McKay, in serial relationships, should really comfort themselves that, perhaps, this is what life is. It's wonderful to find a mate and be able to stay with them, but to quote Shakespeare, "Aye, there's the rub!".

So, as people go through life looking for this permanent relationship, perhaps we should all comfort ourselves in knowing that life isn't perfect. We may not find our perfect mate, and no mates are perfect anyway. To enjoy and love someone for as long as we can, may be the best we can hope for, and this should not discourage us. Fortunately, while there are many things going haywire in this world, we can accept that people don't have to be married, and they can find love where they find it!
