ORIGINAL: Midearthtrainer First and foremost is: Will the two of you still be together, if there is NO lifestyle activities, after 6 months? 1 year? 5 years? 25 years? If the answer is no or maybe, then rethink the marriage. A marriage can include a lifestyle, but cannot be based upon it. That said; you can include in the vows - love honor and obey. You can write your own vows, to include that which is important to you. It's your ceremony. This is a realtionship any way you look at it. Being a lifestyle based realtionship, it has to include some lifestyle elements in it everyday. If not, you will find that the everyday vanilla things tend to take over. Consistancy is the key. No matter how your relationship is structured, keeping things going, keeping things alive is important down the road. Who said, it had to include shared decision making? I am presuming that the lifestyle never ends because each of us is predisposed either to be a Master or a slave and neither of us is vanilla. I am more interested in the dynamics of the bondage marriage long term than the ceremony itself. In fact, I wonder if a long term (10, 20, more years) bondage marriage can inherently work -- that's a question, not a statement.
