“Understanding” what makes a woman tick (or a man for that matter) is irrelevant.

There are two types of people: Those that can get over their selfishness and those that can’t. Period. It equally applies to men and women.

If you can be unselfish, you can compromise, sacrifice, support, defend, nurture...all critical to raising a family.

If you can’t, then don’t bother. Be a single rich person , accumulate possessions, have fun..all that crap. Just don’t bring a child into the world.

Women who “want it all” are selfish. Avoid them like the plague.

Also, you MUST find a conservative woman. The first time I walked into my future wife’s house I saw a signed letter from George Bush thanking her for her generous contribution to the Republican party. How many single women have letters like that hanging on their refridgerators? I was hooked.

Now, 5 years later, we’re happily married with 2 sons. She suffered through my 15-month deployment to Iraq, kept up our household and took care of the boys alone. I flew over 50 hours of combat time as a UH-60 pilot, but she had it tougher than me.

I’ll live with her quirks like complaining that I load the dishwasher the wrong way. Why fight about it? We suffer through bad days and have many more good days. Lack of sleep from two toddlers gets to us, but you fight through it.

Accept your partner, give them space when they need it and compromise. Rinse, repeat.

a UH-60 huh?

Well I think it is no guess those are a whole lot nicer than a UH-1H.

But I would take a UH-1H over the hills of Ft. Hood in the absolute worst nighttime weather conditions before I would take a UH-60 over the deserts of Iraq.

Salute!
