I know many women who would disagree.

It has to go both ways, or it doesn't work. Maybe that's the case with those women.

It takes communication, friendship, and respect.........and it doesn't happen that often, unfortunately.

Of course, a key element, IMO, is a God-centered relationship. HE'S the One who created us, and designed marriage for our mutual benefit, AND pleasure. When two people are off course spiritually, lots of other things go wrong in a marriage, including the physical.

That was really a sad article.

Oh I completely agree. I think many folks just don't marry well. Or marry for all the wrong reasons. And I'm glad you said respect. Too often, couples just go through the motions- of what they expecte being married is supposed to be like, with no clue how to truly know each other. It is sad. And probably why I'm still single. I'm holding out for something special. Whether it exists is another matter altogether.
