"A marriage about good communication, appreciation and respect. You give those things to your partner, you get love and you have great sex together. Those things don't just come out of the blue. It takes years to cultivate them and a good marriage, like anything in life, must be nurtured and worked at to be a success."

Yeah, sure, no kidding - but if your wife, your "partner for life", repeatedly rejects you...the relationship is doomed for exactly the reasons the author cited.

When your wife rejects you, you take it very personally and no amount of pompous twaddle offsets that effect.

Yep.

“When your wife rejects you, you take it very personally and no amount of pompous twaddle offsets that effect.”

I’ve heard that from my brothers and male friends throughout my life. My husband and I discussed this, too.

On the humorous side, when our last child was born, doctor said 3 weeks before sex...(4 c sections), and I said WTH? What happened to 6 weeks? With the other 3, it was no sex for 6 weeks. Doctor (female) said no, 3 weeks is fine. My husband was hilarious...cool, 3 weeks. Told him not to even attempt for 6 weeks.
