What has become of the english language today?
This morning, my first at work after a holiday, I posted on facebook a take on the 7 dwarves song about heading off to work.
"Hi ho, Hi ho it's off to work we go...."
I posted a rather humorous
"Hi ho, hi ho mutter mutter mumble yeah yeah....."
An illusion to the proposal of being miserable about having to go to work.
A classic, that had 184 people rolling with mirth at my amazing wit and repartee.
Yes I know.
It was pretty good.
If you need a moment to recover or wipe away tears, go ahead.
However it made me question the words in a slightly odd way.
Suddenly, "Hi ho" became less a whimsical lyric to a song and more a greeting to a woman of ill repute.
Or maybe it's just me.
Actually, the more I think about it, it's definitely just me.
I should really stop watching gangsta rap music videos.
Slightly inappropriate start tonight.
Hmmm.
That could be costly. But today has been one of many mistakes for me.
Deuteronomy 24
The importance of starting a marriage devoted to your new partner sneak into this chapter. The initial concerns for a marriage failing are somewhat addressed with the instruction for a man not to have to serve in the army or carry out public duty for a year after marrying. The foundations that are forged in this early stage is pivotal to creating a relationship that will last.
Part of this should have been created in the courtship. However there are some things that can't translate from courting to marrying.
I'm not sure of the timing for such things back then either.
Arranged marriages seemed apparent then.
Reason then to build on that early relationship development.
And reason now.
Time apart would not be helpful.
Time together would confirm and preserve the love and build the relationship.
It's an important time.
You have a new priority.
Someone else.
