Sharing it with ones spouse is not such a big deal, considering that most rituals can be found on the Internet. Especially for those who have to memorize all their rituals and need their spouse for rehearsals.
The texts themselves aren't the secrets, at least not anymore. The "secrets" if you will is how they are interpreted. They are allegories which can be interpreted in different ways. So just reading the text out of context and without experiencing the ritual and numerous other masonic experiences, will not reveal all that much.edit on 2014 by Skyfloating because: (no reason given)

He sounds like he is a good guy to share everything with you-He probably thinks if he doesn't tell you what hes doing you will worry.
But why does he hate ATS so much,if you don't mind me asking?
Did he have a bad experience here or something?
Sorry for the questions.
Very powerful things, rituals.

Don't keep secrets between you, trust is built that way.
Very powerful things, rituals.
So are traditions. They set aside our reason and individuality. Now we are a part of the club, now we belong to the collective.
Clubs, fraternities, orders and secret societies. They are how differences arise between people and nations, how arguments, fights and eventually every single war on this planet has begun. State secrets, family secrets, dirty little secrets…
Look at the result of all that today.

tare easily found online, but a great number of rituals and experiences are not (33rd degree being the most obvious).

Differences and secrets aren't bad; it's what's in the hearts of men that can be bad. Now, back on topic.

For an entertaining ritual involving your lovers, might I suggest...
Tequila and ??
a pair of lace up boots
Archie comic books
soft restraints
5 pounds of tofu [large curd style]
various plastic containers
and a signed Andy Warhol silkscreen print.
the adult nature of the ritual should encourage improvisation and experimentation.
Secret societies are welcome to participate but as always please leave the firearms at home!!edit on 29-3-2014 by olaru12 because: (no reason given)

I know some of you won't reveal here, even anonymously whether you've talked openly with your wife about lodge details or rituals, but I'd still love to hear thoughts in general on the topic - from actual freemasons.

And the all time best, for the Past Word of Fellowcraft the Brother said 'Syphilis' instead of the actual word.
