Here it is, 2021, and -believe it or not- the GOP is alive and decently well, racial discrimination is yet standing on one leg, and the utterly old-fashioned and slightly patriarchal notions of monogamy and marriage still haven’t dissipated with table manners and doilies. It’s sort of astonishing, actually. What’s even more shocking, though, is that because marriage is still “a thing,” we’re still plagued with factors which challenge its institution and sanctity. According to Marriage.com, the #1 challenge being infidelity.
That’s right! Even today, there are folks who choose to marry, yet like to have their wedding cake and eat it too. A great many of them, eating it at home. Don’t believe me? Ask Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Garner or even Maria Shriver. Each were once married to reputable men who fell “victim” to the traitorous, scandalous and gainfully employed house help. With that subject in mind…can we talk?
It’s difficult enough, I would estimate, to be married. There are so many decisions to consider -how will we raise our children? Should we buy a home? Should the house help be a hottie? Is the latter a reasonable consideration, though? I mean, it isn’t as though a person’s attractiveness, of the lack thereof, speaks to their skill level. With that, should a couple think twice before hiring attractive home help?
A quick google search on the matter would practically scream in your face, “yes! The answer is yes!” It is a common thought that attractive home help is a primary source of infidelity. But could it be that simple, that the addition of one attractive body in the home leads to mayhem? Not likely. According to divorce attorney, Steven J. Gaba, one psychologist estimates that “if there is already something missing in a marriage, having someone in the home who is taking care of [a member of the marriage] can be enticing.” We see, then, that it is a matter of will.
Concerning the help, whether she (or he) is likened unto Naomi Campbell or a can of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup, there isn’t any reason a confident, loyal and secure couple should need contemplate hiring help based on their attractiveness. That’s discriminatory, anyway. If the marriage consists of individuals who are familiar with the nearly far-gone concept of self-control and has the proper foundations, the household could certainly withstand both a hottie and a helping hand.
