A Married State of Mind

   The actual song itself is available only in spoken form, as requested by Philip.

Response by John:

The last GEM you listened by Phil was entitled, A Married State of Mind.

I love the opera, a musical called Les Meserable.

In Les Meserable, there is a love story between Marius and Quisette.

And the song, these lyrics, while falling in love, says “I am lost’ and she says, “I am found.”

And that reminds me of the love between a man and a woman.

The woman – and I hope I am not being too general – most women, they feel lost and then feel found. But men, they get lost.

So, this understanding of getting into a married state of mind, Phil, I think that is brilliant way that us guys understand.

We got to get there, but the women are already there.

I love your poem.
