If you've been to India and had the chance to gaze, no doubt in awe, at the site of the Taj Mahal (or perhaps you saw  Slumdog Millionaire, which really shouldn't count in the gazing upon category) then you would know that Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan  built it in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Okay, I didn't know the names of either of them, either.

And so it goes that, since time immemorial, man has erected (is there a pun here?) monuments to themselves, think The Donald, or to their beloved. Or, perhaps to both.

Such was my reaction when I saw this article For God and Susan in the home section of the Times.
Did you open the link? Do so, I'll wait.

Most of my friends who are in relationships are delirious where their partner hangs a picture, shelf or
curtain rod.

Now the catch, as I read this article, was the seemingly banal mention of two things.
One was that this was his second marriage. The other was a quote from the Dr. himself…  "the heart of what I'm trying to say with my decorative art is that morality is accepting the consequences of your action, which no one is willing to do these days."  Repentance and resisting temptations, says the article are constant themes.

So then, if you think that your loved one seems to be feeling the pull of infidelity,  get thee to a Home Depot for the paint chips, moldings and decorative hardware. Couldn't hurt.
