Maybe this isn't exclusive to American marriages. Maybe the sort of "fooling around" among the high and mighty lawmakers in the State of New York is not only common to politicians all over the world but to marriages all over the world and in all times.
Newly sworn in New York Governor Paterson's excuse that he was getting back at his wife for her "fooling around" while she stood there at his press conference is just too pathetic for words. Was she first? Is it our business? Now, are they going to have public marriage therapy?
What other sins have Patterson committed because others were doing it?
I'm glad that I grew up in a world where couples "lived happily ever after," at least in public. There was an ideal, which doesn't exit today.
Divorce and extramarital affairs are becoming the public norm. The big difference, like you can read in the Bible, is how it's rationalized/explained. Compare Bill Clinton's explanation of Monica with King David's relationship with Batsheva. Now that's something to blog about.

The United States has some real winners in office, don't we?
Disgusts me. Another thing that bothers me, it seems killing your wife these days is easier than divorce. Look how many high profile *missing* wives there have been in the past decade. Do you think OJ started the trend?
OJ's wife's body was found. But you have a point re the missing wives, girlfriends etc.
