After the honeymoon

I was thinking about this thread as I drove into work this morning. The realization hit me that the way people think about these questions might reveal a bit about how they are in business matters also.

If a person would break a promise to their wife/husband/significant other, which should be a very important promise, then what would stop them from breaking promises in business.

I agree with your statement...that the way someone treats their marriage relationships can often correlate with how one treats their business relationships.

To me, marriage is a contractual agreement. Regardless of what is agreed upon in said contract...it's binding. A contract is also a fluid agreement that can and does require updating and negotiation throughout the life of the partnership.

If both parties agree that sex outside the marriage is not cool, then neither partner should have sex outside the marriage. It seems pretty clear cut to me.

I see marriage as being a partnership between friends/lovers. Both sides bring something to the table...which includes honour, the potential for trust throughout the years.....loyalty....sexual gratification...emotional support and gratification and a whole lot of negotiation to ensure growth.

Anybody who thinks marriage is something that doesn't need a whole lot of care and investment is on the road to divorce and disenchantment.
