Your thoughts on romantic love?

Here you go, (got a feeling you'll be in favour of policies surrounding adultery etc.):
"Would you believe it, data usage limit exceeded just as I tried to post a link", (not to worry, simply google, Utopia by Thomas more views on marriage, and you'll find the link I was given, or another one equally as good).
Top and bottom of it though, our ex.'s adultery would have turned them into " slaves" in Utopia, (an adequate punishment do you feel?)! .

Finally, or at long last, a link to "Utopia", comments or details by the great man himself:

https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literat...-the-discourse-on-utopia-marriage-and-divorce

"Divorce is not permitted except in cases of adultery or "insufferable perverseness" of one party. Provision is made for a couple to separate if they find themselves incompatible — provided they can obtain the consent of the Senate, but that is permitted rarely and only after serious deliberation.

If one party in a marriage is found guilty of adultery, he or she is sentenced to slavery, while the innocent spouse is free to marry again."

Surely not, if there were more than one, one of them would be a bit less than Utopia wouldn't they, (and here its the Sir Thomas More version being referred to anyway, not whatever version you have in mind, but feel free, to post your version "whilst the vous exists until I can get around to posting the link I tried earlier". !). .

You may not have the same needs for Utopia that I would have.

In a funny way we all might think we'd like or need a Utopia to enter when things don't seem so great, although of course Sir Thomas Moore's version isn't really mine, or the one I'd necessarily choose. Maybe it wasn't his either, because its said he was writing allegorically, (if that's the right word), to make the reader try to use their imagination to consider ways the world might be improved half a millennia ago.

@grahamg I did indeed find that interesting. LOL!

"Before the couple gives their final consent, the man and woman are presented naked."

The appearance of the product(s) don't guarantee performance. It boils down to which is more important ~ appearance or performance?
