Maybe those guys in the Middle East are on to something! They have temporary marriages and here we are, stuck with the same spouse year after year.

"Due to the substantial increase in the number of misyar (pleasure) marriages in recent years, and in light of the arguments over this issue among clerics as well as among the public, the Institute of Islamic Religious Law, which is a part of the Muslim World League in Mecca, decided to address the matter.

In a fatwa issued on April 10, 2006, the institute permitted marriages in which "the woman relinquishes a home, financial support, and her part [in joint life] with her husband, or part of it, and consents to the man's coming to her home whenever he wants, day or night."

The fatwa also permitted marriages known as "friend" marriages, in which "the girl remains at her family's home and she and the man meet any time they want, either at her home or anywhere else, as they have no [joint] home and livelihood." [3] Such marriages are aimed primarily at meeting the needs of young Muslims in the West, who are influenced by male-female relations around them but who want their relationships to have religious legitimacy.

I still think their biggest problem is they don't get laid enough. We need to air drop lots and lots of porno over there....and alot of gay porno too.

Oh brother...that stretches the definition of marriage pretty far. Sounds a lot like a lot of the celebrity marriages in the U.S. Who knew these stars were just ahead of the curve on the "friend marriage" concept...

No worries. My godson, a Captain in the Army, just returned from Iraq where he was stationed in a town about 30 miles east of Bagdad. He told me that there are there are always tables of pirated DVD's in the open-air market, most of which were porno. Local civilians employed by the Army regularly approach our soldiers asking them to get them more "dirty pictures".

Seems hypocrisy is global.

Maybe Mitt Romney and his Mormons have more ambitious sights beyond the US White House?
