History:
A year and a half ago, Lisa had 'died' to save a 23 year old marriage. Did the shrink routine, dove into religion and thought I was through with this 'hobby'. No such luck.... I lasted 6 months at best. In that time, I had many a chance to study the Bible and what it says about this. I discovered that there is nothing in the Book that condemns it. Most rely on the Deut 22 - "A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment;". Well if one reads the entire chapter, the majority refers to pagan worship. In fact if we rely on these verses, the majority of today's women would be stoned for not covering their heads in church. Pertains to today's times? Hardly.... Went back to counseling, this time prepared to do battle. After discussing this verse and others, the minister did agree that I was correct in my reasoning. The only thing he could could come up with was that it was 'wordly'. That's when I asked him about his new van in the parking lot. Wasn't that 'wordly' as well? End of conversation....
On a plus note, he did forbid my better half to divorce me because of this. I feel now that she finally understands that this is something that was alway there and will never go away. One of the biggest reasons this marriage survived while others have failed? Love.... Too deep between us to break up the partership. I has been a long, rough road and hopefully most of the bumps are now far behind us.
For those who are 'blessed' with this hobby, I wish you all the best. It's very difficult life to lead but it can be done. Good Luck!
