Love, Lust, Sex, Power, Romance: Kela Price asks, “Why Did I Get Married?”

I often find myself in a mind-meld with Kela Price, co-founder of the recently re-named Today’s Modern Family web site (it used to be Blended Family Soap Opera. Being me, I had my reservations about the “blended” part–but felt she and her partner Diane Green were right on target with the “soap opera” half of the equation). Kela and Diane run an informative, supportive site and Kela authored the tremendously popular “Healthy Marriage or Healthy Divorce?” that had us all talking recently.

I love Kela’s piece, “Why Did I Get Married?” and feel it’s the perfect follow-up to my recent ruminations about whether marriage is “necessary.” Thanks to Kela for permission to run the piece, and to Kela and Diane for serving all the modern families they do. Check out Kela’s article…and leave a comment!

For any Canadian blog followers and FB fans, please tune in to your local CBC radio station tomorrow a.m. to hear me talk about the state of marriage in 2010, which will be running on numerous CBC morning shows nationally ! And call your local CBC station if you’d like them to air the interview.

I’ll be discussing how too often we fail to understand that real marriages between real people are tied to Marriage the social institution. When it becomes less relevant and necessary, we need extra help.

Read the article “Is Marriage Necessary?” here.

Knowing what you do now, would you marry him again?

Knowing what you do now, would you marry him again?


A few days ago I published a piece on psychologytoday.com called “Is Marriage Necessary?” You can also link to it via the post below.

One Boston University study found that nearly 75% of women with stepkids they interviewed would NOT do it over again–would not marry a man with kids, that is. Would you? Tell me about it (and remember your posts here are anonymous!)
