Ah - so if the reviewer says this concept can never be applied to both parties in a marriage, it can't be.
My own marriage doesn't have these problems. The author underestimates both men and women in the quotes you provide. Your marriage is as fair, and rewarding, - and fun - as YOU make it. Ignore the advice of the malcontents and troglodytes. Works for me, I'm going to start with you. :~)
Of course, if it doesn't exist in your own experience, it doesn't exist, right?
Wow.
