The Goq – thank you for digging up those posts; I don’t keep a file. But they are 100% the truth, and you know it.
I posted them, and others, in the spirit of Penina taunting Chana. I have had singles coming over for the past forty years and some from the early years still do. Others have married along the way, we recently had a +40’s marriage. And there is hardly anything that I post that is original, I’m not that clever.
Life is very short and what do you have to lose? Just marry and get some lifelong companionship and giving. It doesn’t say anywhere in the Torah that a marriage needs to be eternal happiness, but it’s a lot better than a single’s existence.
