I'm going to chime in here. I've been married to the same woman for 38 years. Although the road has been rocky from time to time, we stuck it out.

We used to fight every day, practically. Now we hardly have a cross word for each other.

And I think that is why a lot of marriages fail. First big argument and it's over. Well, I don’t know everybody in the world, but I would be willing to bet BIG money that no one in the world can live with another person for any length of time without some major disagreement happening.

You decide that this is the person that you want to live with, and then you stick with it (absent violence or adultery). That's the only way to make it. And a little hep from God doesn't hurt any, either.

“And I think that is why a lot of marriages fail. First big argument and it’s over. “

Depends on how the man handles it. The important thing to realize is that most arguments that a man has with women have nothing to do with what the argument supposedly is about*.

*Unless it´s about you having cheated with her best friend, etc. Then it´s really about what it supposedly is about.

**For more on this, see “Sh*t tests”.

I’m completely with you on that. Unfortunately, both of you have to feel that way. And our culture incents women to “dump the bum” way too much.
