Oedipus strikes again | Hungry for Words

This will not a popular blog post and I?m certain I will get comments from irate wives.

Yesterday, I was expecting to see another televised wedding. Disappointed, I went on the Internet to quell my curiosity about the Grace Kelly swan look-alike marrying the all-time bachelor of the Monaco royal family Prince Albert & Charlene Wittstock

When my expectations were not met, I found photos which got me thinking about men marrying their mothers.

There is a psychological theory that men marry their mothers, or maybe they marry their mothers and fathers. I once heard in a psychology class that a man and woman sharing intimacy is really like four people in bed since each one brings their parents to a relationship.

Men are often attracted to the physical type that their mother is? because that?s the physical image of the woman they grew up with. The theory is that you try to create a home life with your spouse that is close to the home life you grew up in.

Unconsciously there is more than meets the eye. Let?s assume a man finds a partner who looks nothing like his mother and has completely different personality than his?this is what is known as our ?sexual personality?.

In relationships that flounder, when a couple seeks counseling, it is highly likely that a discovery will be made; that both parties will have the same, or at least very similar sexual personalities. As problems arise the couple need to understand why a clash is happening. It is likely that these similarities are the cause of the marital conflict. Only when this is understood can there be a more free-flowing understanding and/or tolerance of one another?s behavior.

So the reference to men marrying their Mothers, is really not such a mystery after all.
