Passive vs. Controlling; doesn’t sound quite right…there is a part of marriage that is about accepting the limitations of one’s partner…but there is a part of marriage about dealing humbling with how my limitations place the marriage at risk.

The illusion in acceptance of the partner, is that the limitations we accept will not harm the marriage…They still do.

But hey if Jon and Kate were gay you could bet on seeing it everywhere. Sadly, this is a human tragedy for the children and the spouses. No one ever goes into a marriage with the contigency plan being divorce and having 8 kids to manage and raise.

Same is true of heterosexual marriage. Gays pose no threat to it.

Sigh.

I wonder if Vegas has any odds on that one.
