“What?” My head pops up and I latch on to her words. “You two aren’t married? But how long have you—” “Thirty years we’ve been together.” Ken kisses the top of Merry’s head. “One successful business and two successful kids, but no rings.” “That’s…unconventional,” Josiah says. “We are that,” Merry says and laughs. “But it works for us. We didn’t need the paper or the hardware. Most of the marriages I saw growing up were traps, a means to keep women minimized. Not that I think my Ken would ever do that.”
Wow. A book actually portraying not getting married positively, and makes it clear the relationship is just as valid.
