In the beginning of a marriage the woman thinks she can change the man and the man thinks the woman will never change. Both are wrong.
That was extremely astute.
LOL, that is so true. The marriages that I have seen fail seem to have one thing in common, both parties, especially the women, grant stingy meted out favors to each other, only after weighing and measuring to make sure one isn't getting more than the other.
Such as, "You can go bowling with the boys, but you have to do this for me", etc. Personally I couldn't live with the strain of using a calculator to make sure I'm coming out ahead or dead even in the marriage game, doesn't seem like a fun way to live to me.
