Besides, ALL successful marriages don't work on one formula; they work off of many. Her philosophy, clearly, won't work for a lot of women, obviously.

I read a book, written in the 70's, about the different approaches to marriage. "Men, Women and Change: The Sociology of Marriage" discussed, I think, 3 different styles--the nurturer/housewife, the partner/50-50, and the career wife. It also talked about how race, education and sex identification plays into marital decisions. Y'all should check it out!

Sidenote~Did anyone see that episode of 'Wife Swap' (or 'Trading Spouses'--I don't remember which one) where the woman had the super-subservient husband (and kids)? And when she switched households, the other man was practically the complete opposite of where she came from? It was wierd. Some people are insane. I'm glad my parents are relatively normal. (<-----came from a part partnership, part nurturer household )

I came up in the nurturer/100-100 household. So, I guess it is really difficult for me to see things any other way. And they say women look for men who are like thier fathers and I just found that out to be true. One thing about my parents...They took care of each other, even if it meant doing things out of their element. That is apart of what true love is.
