There was once a song about Jack and Jill if not Jack and Dianne. Either way, Jack is involved. Now Jack and his girlfriend spent a lot of time together just enjoying life. They cooked, ate and even shared the laundry together. That is how they met. Jack had a habit of sleeping over at his girlfriend's place and she looked forward to it; that they could spend time together and enjoy what was a good and genuine friendship at its essence. There was another couple that lived a few doors down in this suburban neighbourhood building with a Costa Brava Coffee chain store on the ground floor. They( married couple 1) were married as well as the neighbouring couple. Married couple two(2) had a beautiful ceremony and exchanged gifts like Jack and his girlfriend. The married couple divorced a few years later citing irreconcilable differences that amounted to divergent television interests and a repetitive argument over what was the most efficient laundry soap. He also spent too much money on coffee, she said, and she wanted him to save for a new set of designer plates that she just, gosh darn, had to purchase once every six months. Jack and his girlfriend went to church every Sunday and agreed as to what was most important. Her favorite scripture was Ecclesiastes 4 and he liked Luke 1:27(ESV), Matthew 19 and Ephesians 5:31. 20 years later, couple 2 divorced. Jack and his girlfriend were always mindful of dividing things equally so everyone was as happy as the bargain or agreement they made while in the relationship. Jack and his girlfriend met these various individuals and their new partners( Prior to break up, the new partners wrote their names on the pavement outside of the homes of Jack's neighbours.). They went on various trips to Scranton to go skiing and Michigan to go fishing. The end result is that Jack said his vows, figuratively speaking, with his girlfriend once a week as they attended church together. No one is judging. Don't get it wrong. The reason why Jack and his girlfriend never had a ceremony beside their wedding( a ceremony does not make you legally married) was because his girlfriend was horribly afraid of rejection that could come from any commitment but she really loved him though. She also loved to read the bible and accused all of her ex boyfriends of cheating while this was not so. She also accused Jack as well. He never understood why. He did not go to church with anyone else. He did his best to understand and realised that his neighbours went through the same thing in light of their faithfulness to their wives. It was a mystery since faithfulness should bolster mutual assurance unless... Anyway, Jack was a descendant of a Japanese man who could trace his ancestry to one of Shakespeare's sons who had travelled to Japan to teach english. It was a known fact among the family that Shakespeare enjoyed conjugal rights while betrothed as this was the God fearing custom. Shakespeare and his wife had a ceremony a few months after the birth of their first child with great joy and communal celebration.
