Over land and sea you’ll go.
Those who in July are wed,
Must labor for their daily bread.
Whoever wed in August be,
Many a change is sure to see.
Marry in September’s shine,
Your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry,
Love will come, but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November,
Only joys will come, remember.
When December snows fall fast,
Marry, and true love will last.
11. Discuss the following.
The mayor has nine wives
Elizabeth, 38, is a smart, bright, modern-looking woman, and the town attorney. She
lives here in Big Water with her husband, Alex Joseph, most of his twenty children
and all of his eight other wives.
‘It’s an ideal arrangement for a career woman,’ Elizabeth, a Mormon, says ‘Most
American women trying to juggle their CE lipstick and marriage not succeeding very
well ‘In a plural marriage can have it all. You never have to worry about who’ll look
after the s. You can be fully a mother, fully professional and fully woman.’
12. The big question is…
IS MARRIAGE OLD-FASHIONED. What does marriage mean to you? Just a
piece of paper or a deeper and more secure relationship?
CHRIS O’BRIEN
‘Yes, it’s no different to living together, apart from a bit of paper. I wouldn’t bother
with getting married, unless my girlfriend wanted to, or we were going to have kids.
I think it’s important then.’
ANNE McLEAN
‘No, it’s not old-fashioned – I’m married and I highly recommend it! It’s rubbish to
say that marriage is just a bit of paper, and it’s certainly a lot more than just living
together.’
In groups, discuss the following questions and give reasons for your answers.
a) What are the main reasons for getting married and what are the drawbacks?
b) What is the best age to get married? Why?
c) Is there too much social pressure on people to get married? Should other kinds of
partnership be more acceptable?
d) Should weddings be religious?
