	Hey it's time for my 0.02c worth.
We have been together for 8 years this Sept and married for 6 years. I would
have to say that we are closer now than ever before even with the advent of 2
children. I don't feel that THE PIECE OF PAPER made any difference to us at all
but our wedding day was great and we often look at our video with goofy looks
on our faces. My rather rambling point is that we feel no different as a couple
to the way we felt before the marriage except that we may be more commited as a
couple which I believ to be because of our shared experiences rather than a
piece of paper declaring that we are bound to each other FOREVER. I guess it is
different for everyone but remember that I am one of the old fogie Peels at 30
so I don't believe it has anything to do with a generation gap thing.

I am the Felix Unger and Alan the Oscar in our house. We cope with this pretty
well he has become less slobby and I have become less obsessive but on the
whole we accept our different attitudes and have learned to live with it.Our
house still occasionally rings with the sound of WW3 over the clothes left by
his side of the bed but hey the making up afterward is extra-good.

	As I said above I disagree with this sentiment but we are all different
and our reactions to certain things different also.

	Nope its not the generation gap.>

As I said I'm over 30 (well 31 in December) and I can only speak for myself but
BARRY MANILOW - EEEOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!! I still feel nauseous when I even see the
name. A big NO from me.Mind you Led Zep don't do much for me now either.

Happily married (No it's not an oxymoron) Kumara Peel
