The “Spiritual (and Life) Partners”
“My parents went to seminary school together. In one of their classes, they had to pick a classmate to be their ‘spiritual partner.’ The teacher actually had a rule that men and women couldn’t be partners, in case they developed feelings for each other (I guess gay people didn’t exist back then??? LOL. Then again, what do you expect from a seminary in the late ’80s/early ’90s?) Fortunately, the gender composition of the class was such that my parents ended up having to be partners. And then chose to be partners. Because, you know, they got married.”
