Is marriage only bearable in cotton - poly?


monochromatic sweaters. matching sweatpants. split ends and butterfly clips. Fanny packs stuffed with band aids with Fred Flinstone on them. Visors. Stride rite looking shoes. And sex three times a week.
Is that what marriage is? I steal quick glances of them in the park pushing strollers and swings, once hip women,peeking out from ankle length skirts and Birkenstocks. Their pre married souls cry out silently with that glazed over soccer mom smile.."

"DONT DO IT!"
What about dates, and conversations and sex on the dinner table with the school bus pulling up?
What about sex period? Where does SHE die? To fashion? To excitement? To 6 week trims?
Or is marriage only bearable in cotton- poly? Once gone, is it possible for the wife to reclaim...
her inner vamp tramp???
Or does eternal love consist of quick kisses on the forehead, bedtime at ten and an endless carpool lane?
Routine = nothing good.
unless you are an accountant. And I suck in math.
That also might be why I'm still single.
