I spent my formative years reading Barbara Cartland novels, but still managed to marry a normal, human man with lots of potential. After 15 years, I can honestly say that I think the next 15 will be better than the first (even if we have 6 more children :-).

I agree with you about Dr. Laura. Although I haven't yet read the most recent book (note to self, library list), the discussions I've read suggest that its approach to men is rather shallow: "You should treat your husband with respect ... even though he's a primitive creature interested only in food, sports, and sex." (This, btw, is exactly what my Japanese professor in college said about Japanese men ... she married an American!)

My husband is a much more complex and interesting person than that, and if our sons turn out like their father, they will be ... not perfect, but well above average, with personalities that will interest any woman who's not a total twit.

"You should treat your husband with respect even though he's a primitive creature interested only in food sports and sex."

No Dr Laura, it's just that we aren't interested in much of the same nonsense that many women are.
