Quality, not quantity. Relate, don't compare.
That's the essence of what Debra, my dance instructor, told me yesterday. On my other blog I described these life lessons. Have a read. And a look, as I included a dance video that Debra liked a lot.
Religions urge that we form an intimate relationship with God or some other supernatural entity. Ballroom dancing points us toward the here-and-now: relating to the partner who is in our arms.
Which is more real? For me, dancing. For sure.
Monogamy is no picnic, but if you want it to last until one or both of you is dead, cooperation is essential, and a regular regime of leading and following the other around the ballroom floor is a good way to maintain it.
