Marriage is not always an easy path to follow because two people grow in different direction over many years. Beauty fades and personal tastes change over a life time. Marriage is something that takes hard work and commitment. It is putting the other person’s feelings first in your life and knowing that they will do the same. Commitment is not something to take lightly and there will be times when someone interesting comes along but a person must be willing to forgo any type of physical relationship with outside individuals. Friends should respect married couples during times of weakness and encourage them to recommit themselves to their relationship. It is not wrong for married individuals to have close friendships but limits should be defined early on to protect everyone involved. Any friendship should only make the other individual stronger and should never tear down a married person’s partner.
When it comes to politics it is very important for elected official and candidates to have close friends because these individuals face a great deal of attention and admiration from single individuals who want nothing more than to destroy their careers or to bask in the attention shown an elected official. Close friends are often the barrier between elected official and these sad individuals. A wife cannot always be with her husband or a husband cannot always be with his wife so friends must step in and provide a safety zone for married public figures. Never should a public figure be left on their own to deal with someone who clearly has stars in their eyes for that person.
We have all seen time and time again over the past few years the results of allowing public elected official to deal with these people for themselves. I have often acted as that physical barrier for a few of my close friends and think nothing of making it clear to a women that her attentions are unwelcome when it comes to my married friends. You don’t have to be rude or unkind but you do have to be very clear that the person in question is completely and totally happily married. Elected officials are not perfect and they have their times of weakness just like everyone so it is not hard to understand that as a friend you should be there to encourage them and to protect them so that they can continue to serve the public for the betterment of our country.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."
Unknown
"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
