Marriage musings

Forgive me, but this is a real cheat post.

So Phaedrus and I are getting married, and going back to finishing up our respective PhDs in our respective corners of the country for the next couple of years. And people ask, so when are you moving to his place after the wedding?
Me?
Why?
People haven't heard of weekend marriages it seems. Or house-husbands, or career women or gender equality ...
Ok, well, this is more like a bi -monthly both-working marriage. It's worked this far, dunno why it shouldn't after repeating some vows or circumambulating a fire ...
Plus at least for now I don't have to clean up my Mess (see earlier post). Heh heh.

Congratulations are in order! Wish you both a wonderful life ahead (and together whenever that happens :))!

Anil,

Thanks for the wishes. Sadly, togetherness is a cliched emotion. So I doubt it will provide literary inspiration :-)

"career women" is anyways misplaced in its usage, because the moment you use this phrase you toss out the gender equity (as there is nothing called "career man", though there is something analogous called "family man" :)

This bi-monthly will work as long as you guys are student, you would not want to do it for the rest of your life, you have to find jobs in the same city. And that is as practical a solution as the problem in hand. Right now just chill, as someone has said "we will cross the bridge when we will reach the bridge" :0)
