Why is every1 (particularly - men, big surprise) so hung up/obsessed on sex? BTW, this is a liberal, hippie-generated hang-up.

Cake is NOT bread. Neither does all cake come out good, anyway (if it doesn't, it's closer to bread or bad biscuits). Some are so good you don't need the icing. Trust me, I've been eating alot of cake lately!

I relate to your post. ALL of us are married and not a single divorce in the family. But you know how it is ... there will always be those making up excuses for their lack of a loved life or failed attempt at marriage. The odds are then when they give it a try again, despite their cynicism, they'll pair up with the same problem in a different body that caused the previous relationship to fail.

In short, it's always someone else's fault and they are the self righteous victim. Irresponsibility doesn't know a political party, "faith", gender or race.

Three other women left Rush when he was moving up financially.

Just for the record, if Rush's marriage to Marta was his third, only two other women left him.

"Try not marry a woman who is more than 3 inches shorter then you."

That would sure limit the potential pool for someone who is 6'3" as I am. The best of my exes was a foot shorter than me, and some of the worst met this illogical notion.

NOt always true, my wife's friends hated me when we started dating.... if she'd listened to them we'd never have been married.

It is true because this advice is for guys. Guy will be honest with each other even brutally

But this advice would not be true for women because many women will automatically hate and be jealous of any guy their friends date and try to sabotage their relationships.

I think it is all HORMONE related....Men have tons of testosterone this is the sexual drug that both sexes need.
Women have half the amount women but have many hormones to deal with when it comes to reproduction, just like in the Animal World when a woman is ovulating she has much more sexual desire of course that is how GOD designed it so all living things would pro-create..

Of course this is the science version...

People do change after being married. You can only hope they mature but alas this is not something you can count on however there are ALWAYS warning signs that something might be amiss. Most of the time in our self absorbed society, these signs are missed or if they are noticed neither wants to compromise or work it out. It's easier to become bitter, divorce the other one and blame them for everything. Oh, I also hear that divorce parties and cards help soothe the ego.

Reading the posts on this thread from gentlemen who adore their wives after years of marriage is so heartwarming.

Yes, I find it encouraging, worth reading through the mucky muck to find. Thank you!

""Leave American women with nothing but dishonest and abusive men to spend their time with."
The author assumes that all American women are feminazis. Even here in the heart of suburbia, that's simply not the case. I'm certainly not, and I thank my lucky stars that my fiance didn't judge all American women based on the idiocy of a foolish, loud minority. Most women want to be married to a good, solid man and raise a family - even we "evil" American women."


Yes, I love how apparently all American women are of the same exact mold, but American men have 2 molds - good 1s like him, as well as bad 1s.

What a crock, painting all (women) w/the same exact brush. Are we not individuals? >:(

"If love and marriage were perfect, no one would ever get divorced."

If people were perfect there would be no divorce. All of us have our faults. It is the mature and typically those of "faith" that can work differences out.

My parents have been married 53 years. They've had their challenges and they chose to work the differences out.

My understanding is that this is Rush's FOURTH marriage so three other women left him; not two.

So true. If all women were the same, it would be easier to understand them and you would not have a whole cottage industry of "how to" figure them out. ;-) Besides, speaking personally, I love the mystery of trying to figure any particular one out.

I of course have the benefit of hindsight with which to score my wife, but she scores 9.5. Not bad. Probably explains a lot of why we just celebrated our 25th anniversary.

Rush is so full of himself, just as any famous person would be. A wife of such a person must recognize that she will be a supportive secondary person in this relation. Unfortunately, in our magazine, and TV shows, the only way for a woman to be happy, is if she is in control; she must be worshiped, catered too, obeyed, appreciated,....and she has to treat her guy as the media tell her: he is a buffoon, slob, uncool, stupid idiot......The result is eventual war of liberation. To hell with this crap, I want out of this, even if it costs me 50%!

Marriage is not a checklist.
A good marriage is hard work, from both participants.

My wife and I are from different cultures, different countries, different religons (when we got married), and even the military said we'd be divorced in less than 5 years.
We've now been together for 23 years, married for 21 years, and our relationship is better now than it ever has been.

She put up with a lot from me in our years of our marriage. I put up with a lot from her in our years of marriage.
Neither of us EVER considered a divorce.

Marriage is not something to be thrown away because things don't go just exactly the way you want them to.

A good marriage is hard work, love, happiness, sadness, and surprise.
In the vows we took it was, "for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part".
