This was a good episode. Like Erik, I'm working on my degree in ministry and stuff. And like Steve, sometimes I'm the most religious person my friends know. This episode was like a mental/spiritual sigh for me, easing the tension from my shoulders and saying "Oh, it's all right then."

Listening to this I heard two things deep in my spirit:

1) i have this against you, you have left your first love!

and the left side of my brain says "You have become enamored with the institution of marriage, with concepts of marriage and with talking about marriage but are no longer enamored with our wife!

2) I hear the lyrics to an OLD song, "The Dangling conversations by Simon and Garfunkel

It's a still life water color,
Of a now late afternoon,
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room.
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference,
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
The borders of our lives.

And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes, we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation.
And the superficial sighs,
In the borders of our lives.
