Tomorrow is our 21st wedding anniversary and neither myself or my wife have any interest in starting over with someone else. Gives us the cold willies actually. We’d stay single for the rest of our lives instead.
As for the letter and the thread, enjoyed reading all the comments, but I guess the issue of marriage itself is on trial here. To say that women treat husbands poorly goes beyond the fact that for many women then and now, being the husbands ‘property’ had a lot to do with women’s rights in the first place. Marriage has always been about the head of the household versus the heart and that hasn’t been resolved.
My wife is my equal but she’s not the same. I think we’ve lost sight of the fact that a man and a woman bring very different strengths and weaknesses to a marriage. What makes a great marriage is acknowledging that we are different and those differences are the key to building a marriage together.
