[Today's video finds Raphael perched on what appears to be a clothesline he's strung through the living room of his apartment. He smiles at the camera and gives it a friendly wave.]

Marriage.

[Without warning, he swings himself upside-down so he's hanging by his feet.]

What do you think about it? Outdated concept? Beautiful tradition? Is it

Taking a survey or? [He's a paranoid, suspicious bastard, sorry.]

I guess you could say that.

Voice most likely forever makes_asteroids March 5 2011, 17:01:52 UTC

May I ask why? Or rather, what prompted it?

angelify March 5 2011, 17:06:20 UTC

Ah ah ah, if I said it'd ruin the surprise.

If you're able to dedicate yourself to another person, I believe the tradition should be upheld.

[video] angelify March 5 2011, 17:06:53 UTC

Ah, I see! Dedication takes a lot of work, though.

[voice] heavenly_earth March 5 2011, 17:08:40 UTC

Yes, and may not be advisable under less than ideal circumstances.

angelify March 5 2011, 17:10:09 UTC

Less than ideal?

Depends on the circumstances, but it's unnecessary unless you're attempting to reap the financial benefits of it.

[video] angelify March 5 2011, 17:07:38 UTC

Interesting. Always about money, isn't it?

[video] proxysearch March 5 2011, 17:09:36 UTC

It has its uses. Where I'm from, marriages are arranged. It's entirely about social standing and the compatibility of occupations. For instance, a man with a great deal of power in the city would have a stay at home wife to take care of the more domestic affairs while he was busy.

[Like Raul and his wife.]

That sounds really boring.

What's this for.

[video] angelify March 5 2011, 17:09:29 UTC

Decision making.

[voice] decontrolled March 5 2011, 17:15:46 UTC

[ A beat. ]

Don't do it.

angelify March 5 2011, 17:17:32 UTC

Hm?

I think it can be a beautiful thing. But relationships in general can be. Unless your religion dictates it, or there's some belief reason, marriage is just a legal trap that makes it a pain to get out of a relationship.

Why the question?

[Video] angelify March 5 2011, 17:11:59 UTC

A trap, huh? The old ball and chain?

I have some investment in the answers.

[Video] thelittlestbub March 5 2011, 17:15:51 UTC

Something like that. It's kinda a gilded cage thing for me. Yeah, it's pretty and it can be awesome, but sometimes it still looks like a cage. [A shrug.] I don't have any good examples to go on, though.

[Video] angelify March 5 2011, 17:18:41 UTC

I hear some people have open marriages these days.
