Couple vows they'll never be more than 15 feet apart

People are strange.. 15 feet is within fart earshot.. I'm guessing there is a transcendentally spiritual benefit to hearing the other blow ass

I have to agree with Lord Scrotus.... giggle.

oh my god, could you imagine getting in a fight and not being allowed to storm out of the room without him being right behind you? I'd go crazy. And you can't have sex? No way would i ever agree to the 15 feet and no sex. *shudder* *shudder*

Well, this is some thing else. It may be that he has lost the ability sex and she is now in the heat of her life. What control. How do they sleep? Nearer than 15 feet?

That is just very wrong! All of it!

So maybe its not pure Buddism the way Eastern Buddism is, but pretty much everything in the US is a hogpog of ideas. I don't get the feeling from the article she has to follow him. Its more of a mutual, I need to go over here, come with kind of thing. I doubt it lasts very long, if it does, More power to them. I hope it does. The one thing that always suprises me about the US is that we love our religous freedom but have no problems condeming anything out of the norm as a joke or a cult.

I wish them success if that's the lifestyle they choose, but personally I couldn't live that way. I love my husband dearly and we spend most our time together but the 15 foot rule would drive me absolutely crazy in about ten minutes flat.

Ya know, if they like it, that's what mattes - whatever floats your boat...

Okay, that is a bit much. 15 feet? I have two children and when they were toddlers, there were plenty times of I was more than 15 feet away from them.

I'm going to be that close to you and no SEX? Forget it about! lol

Sounds like a situation ripe for a sexual predator. Watch out for this guy!

Before I can tag them as extreme or bizarre, I would need to understand why the 15 foot rule began. It is a different lifestyle choice, but the 2000-2003 living in silence is a bit left of center as well.

15 feet does not mean they cannot have some privacy since they could be in different rooms and be less than 15 feet apart. Nor is there a qualification that the 15 feet requires that they are vertically aligned. They could be walking side by side. To avoid the farting aftermath, I personally would make sure I was upwind of my partner at all times.

To our normal standards, this is weird, but at least it is peaceful and weird. They aren't hurting anyone, they aren't asking for welfare so it isn't costing any of us to be tolerant of their life choices.

It seems they have transcended our limited ways of thinking.

Ewwwwwww.

Like all religions; It takes foolish people to believe such foolish things can improve their lives . Or better yet improve their death .

Wow, so many feel so strongly about this couple's personal decision to adhere to their convictions publicly. I find it somewhat sad that this couple has taken on the herculian task of attempting to change the world's opinion of a conceptualized way of living as their own personal science experiment. People will forget about them and they will be left will an unfullfilling sham of a marriage that very well could fail. If their marriage succeeds or fails, what will anyone have learned? I just don't see the point of it all. I do have a comment for the guy who made a comment about children being created because humans refuse to deny themselves orgasms. You are as misguided and uniformed as this couple. For me and my husband, our decision to have children was born out of something entirely different than the need to have an orgasm. They were both planned pregnancies, and borne from the desire to share our love with others, unconditionally. Sorry, I don't subscribe to your point of view on the matter. However, the beauty of this world is that you have your opinion and I have mine. What makes this world diverse is our abilities to accept other's convictions even if we do not agree with them.

Oh ma God!
Dat's really a hell of a nightmare,who can stand dat??
May b a year,just may b,but not more 4 sureeeeeeeeeeeeee

Wow...he's GOTTA be impotent. Cmon! My hubby would love this situation. I would sneak out for a breather when he was sleeping!

I am getting ready to get married and would never take the vow to keep my future spouse within 15 feet of me at all times! He would drive me insane!!! They have to live in a world that is "NOT OF THIS WORLD" Sounds like to me they use their religion as a cover to not be part of the real world where people actually have to work to live. So much for bathroom privacy!!!!

This is not Buddhism, it's Hypoactive Delirium. They're so afraid of being considered Western, it's sickening (literally). Ugly people tend to do these things.

Ewwwwwww.

What do they do when either needs to use the toilet?
