Can I make a suggestion to strengthen marriage?

[Beer Snob-50]

How about outlawing adultry, divorce, SI's swimsuit issue because it puts the wrong ideas in the head of married men, Victoria Secret for the same reason....

1. They used to have these laws

although I don't think the adutery one was enforced much at any time.

The divorce rate was lower, but critics argue, with much justification, that the quality of married life was generally poorer than it is now -- both in and out of the bedroom.

2. We Could Women in Black Sacks ...

and say they can only be taken out of the black sack after the women are married.

And then we could wall them away from boys/men to make the world safe for boys/men.

While we are at it, we make sure girls are not taught to read and write.

Wait a minute. Didn't we fight a war recently against this sort of thing?

3. It would be nice if certain people didn't treat marriage as a big joke.

Like, um...

The Fox Channel? (now they're going to air some sad monstrosity called "The Littlest Groom". Fox does more to demean marriage than anyone. But I don't see the right wingers getting in a huff about Fox)

And how about Britney Spears? She can go to Vegas, get married to some shlumpf and get that marriage annulled 55 hours later. She treats it as a fucking joke and encourages others to do the same. And to add insult to injury, she can do the same damn thing AGAIN. And her short lived marriages are LEGALLY RECOGNIZED.

6. Let's have a Constitutional amendment to get rid of that crap.

Of course, I'm not really in favor of that, but better that than the "protection" amendment. Since when is the Constitution supposed to limit the freedoms of just one type of American???

Gays aren't a threat to marriage, our trashy culture is.

I'm a married, straight, God loving woman, btw.

4. We should bring back chastity belts and those marriage blankets

you know, the quilts that have an opening right in the genital area so that the man and woman never touch each other.

Then we'll have them sleeping in different beds like the Beav's parents use to do!!

5. Huh?

Adultry is already grounds for divorce legally.
No divorce? I guess people should reconcile themselves to a lifetime of misery in certain cases.
SI swimsuit issue? Men are much more visual and I've never understood women getting freaked out by this stuff. A man can be respectful to women personally and even be dare I say, a Feminist, yet still be a sexual being who can appreciate and likes to look at beautiful women, even perhaps having particular preferences in regard to certain physicalities as long as he's not so shallow, it's the only things he values for worth in a woman. I'm not talking about the porn-addicted types, I'm talking your average strait guy.
