8 Types of Spouses You Meet in NYC Subway

There were only heterosexual marriages in the country I was born and raised. Last October I spend a month in New York City. There is a bigger variety of couples with different race, sex, age and background than in any places I have been before. In spite of their differences, they seem to love, quarrel, feel or take care of each other the same way as the couples I was used to seeing from my childhood.

As I traveled in NYC directly from Masholand, some Masholandese followed my steps and spread in the whole city. They started imitating people, by taking human appearance and acting like them too. We used to spend hours in the subway trains - impressed by the diversity of spouses and their relationships. Masholandese creatures started getting their looks and behaviors. They were a great example of how beautiful human relationships can be when it comes to love and unity.

“In spite of their differences, they seem to love, quarrel, feel or take care of each other the same way as the couples I was used to seeing from my childhood.”

I decided to illustrate some Masholandese as married couples to give everybody an opportunity to see and enjoy this interesting diversity.

Newlyweds
Still in Love
In Love
Quarrelsome and/or Mute
Women
Tall woman + Short man; Elderly couple
Men
