who, in spite of his sexual attraction for other women,
never stays away from his wife even for a single night,
and takes good care of family life. Fiona has nothing to
worry or complain about except for the fact that for
some reason she is unlikely to become a mother. This
uneven balance in the marriage could also be one good
reason which causes a psychological problem in Fiona
and takes away the entire glimmer from her life,
although it remains dormant in her behavior. Her whole
life bears the mark of barrenness except for Boris and
Natasha which she does love them passionately and
compensates her emptiness to some extent. Fiona starts
working as a ‗hospital coordinator of volunteer services
(in that everyday world, as she said, where people
actually had troubles that were not related to drugs or
sex or intellectual squabbles)‘ (287), to past her time.
Life for them became monotonous and boring after they
started living in the farm house, they ‗were not
sociable, but gradually made some friends‘ (287). Their
marriage after ‗nearly fifty years‘ (293) now is an
empty shell supported merely by commitment of
marriage. Fiona feels more exhausted than ever and
longs for ―a new life‖ (287). However, passion is not
enough for long term preservation of love and marriage.
Real marriage is not about fun and passion. It‘s a
lifelong promise to stay beside each other and having a
healthy relationship. Passionate love between them
diminishes as the positive force of the relationship is
taken over by opposite forces. In Grant and Fiona‘s
cases, the most violent force striking their relationship
is the enticement of other women. Grant comes in touch
with waves of other women, looking for that passionate
love once again outside the marriage.
