Let’s accept it. The present does not look too appealing as
far as modern relationships are considered.
People are increasingly growing comfortable in their own
space and the entry of any intruder into this private space is looked upon with
contempt. The search for an ideal mate consequently has become very
challenging. In fact many people willingly choose to remain single for life.
While this is not a bad idea these people also miss out on consortium. They
are ready to settle down provided they find the exact person they have in mind.
This perpetually single lifestyle often does not suit
people. They miss the availability of sex, the pleasure of permanent
partnership, the shared midnight sobs about life’s failures and other things
that technically come under spousal comforts.
So what do you do when you do not like whatever is
available? You go for something custom made.
And that’s exactly what our future generations would do.
Soon every one would have a genetically engineered spouse
custom made to suit the needs of the modern man and woman. And if they get
bored with the outcome they can always request for a tweak in the chromosomes
to bring about the desired changes. In short a relationship with a person made
to appease their own set of idiosyncrasies…the perfect relationship.
What??? Getting judgemental? That’s the way it has always
been…the older generations can never appreciate the changes. If you are finding
it too weird it just confirms that they would find it too alluring.
