This leads us to ask, what do modern women offer men that is superior to what their predecessors proffered in the past?......

If Oprah says so, or women agree among themselves, then they factually are superior.

[wardaddy]

the new rule of marriage amongst the educated classes here in Nashville is that the men are soft as butter and the women have prominant chins.

does not bode well for our culture’s future in a perilous world.

men emasculated with nary a scapel

This is simple. Why buy the cow when the milk is free? More rules and regulations keep more men away from marriage.

I see it everyday and it makes me sick. Men are controlled by their wives. They are terrified of their wives. They are portrayed as bumbling idiots and their wives must do everything for them like they are ten year old boys.

It contained a glowing recommendation from the sinister bell hooks and Ballantine’s promise that the work delivered “a long overdue message that women need to hear: You aren’t crazy–you’re right!”

An endorsement by bell hooks of a marriage book is the best reason NOT to buy it lol!

Women have complained throughout history since men left the cave door open going out to hunt. Modern women have failed in taking care of their families - hence divorce, the huge government, taxes, alternative fathers. Have to blame it on something.

What do real women make for dinner? Reservations.

Marriage Rule #1: Show your wife you appreciate her by surprising her with a thoughtful gift.

For instance, I just surprised Mrs. Chandler with a new steam iron. It’s a beautiful digital model. The old one was getting rusty and I was worried it might damage my underwear when she irons them.

One question to ask about the author of a book about marriage, as well as the reviewer of a book on marriage and the endorser(s) of a book in marriage, is, “How long has this person been happily married to the same spouse?”

For example, why would anyone listen to Oprah Winfrey’s opinion on marriage?

Time for the foreign chicks comment....

The best quote from the article.
“You can be right or you can be married; what’s more important to you?”

I'd rather be right.

“This leads us to ask, what do modern women offer men that is superior to what their predecessors proffered in the past?......”

Nothing.

In fact, It seems to me they are offering less.

You guys are all wrong. You can’t predict what a woman will do in 20 years. Have fun and screw around until you get old and then marry some young professional, pick up your fishing pole and go fishing. In this way she can’t divorce you because she will have to pay you spousal support.

Don’t forget to pack the 12 pack.

Getting men to verbalize their thoughts and emotions is pointless, foolhardy, downright goofy, and a waste of time. After all, talking about emotion is as useful as singing about electrical engineering.

I was trying to get a loan on my 401K ( I’ve been paying into it the last 10+ years and Im the only person on the account of course).
I was told just because i’m married (I got married in the last 3 years) i need my wife’s signature and i can’t get a loan over a certain amount without her signature/approval!!!!!!!!!

I told them it is my money and it was already there before i got married and why do I need her signature when she is not even on the account nor has access to my account.
They told me that is how the law is.
Once your married on paper, literally they got you by the balls.
The laws have gone really insane.
Luckily I married a really hot and sweet woman :)

NEW rules of marriage?

I didn't know there were OLD rules of marriage.

I thought it was just a free-for-all and devil take the hindmost.

[papertyger]

“Women: Theory and Practice” just went on my “must have” list!

There is no new rule - just new-age ways of coping with the age-old truth. Men and Women’s brains are wired different and God meant it to be that way.

This video is priceless......
