Just look at the latest Diamonds commercial on tv and that says it all. He buys here a big overpriced ring, and she says "I love this man" as she seems to be having an orgasm while she hugs him. I have never, nor will ever, see an equivalent where a women gets a man like a gun or a

I don't know of any woman who would react that way. The only thing I can see is possibly the difference in the way they are both expressing their love for each other - he's yelling it, she's saying it quietly. I think the media puts too much emphasis on diamonds as a symbol for love.

Which just proves the point that modern women have no clue about men. Feminsts have succesfuly forced ignorance upon women.

I am personally award of divorce cases which arose out of a lack of sex. So Dr. Laura has a point about that.

This "concept" also tracks what was being talked about witht he promise keepers. Men need to be men. Men need to be fathers not "a parent".

This book is an effort to be a matriacal view of mariage vs the traditional patriarcal view. I don't agree with the notion of covert or open manipulation. Manipulation will always lead to problems. It is a bandaid solution until a proper remedy can be made.

Old joke from a priest:

Woman decides to get a divorce but she wants to make sure her husband is going to suffer with her absense. She she starts to be really nice to him. She cooks his favorite dinners, cleans house, and starts acting really friendly. All the time she is thinking, "he is going to be sorry when I am gone." The proces continues for a month, then two, then three.

After the third month her lawyer calls her to find out what happened to her client. The wife tell the lawyer she changed her mind. A miracle happened and her husband just spontaneously became the man she wanted and was when they got married.

Don't let those diamond commercials scare you. When my husband and I married 22 years ago, he gave me what he could afford at the time......a very narrow plain gold band. He told me that he would replace the ring when he could afford something better. I told him that that ring would never leave my finger.......and for 22 years, it hasn't. Although he has far exceeded his promises of financial success and has bought me many things, that plain gold band remains the only jewelry on my left hand. Nothing could ever mean more to me than that symbol of his promise, offered at a time when promises were all that either of us could afford to give.
