Didn't get too many hits on this post at first but I'm glad to see you all participate. Interesting dialog.
Apparently it depends on your individual experiences as to what you enbrace about it. What you choose to accept as reality. I agree with parts of what everyone said and I can see how your individual experinces color your remarks. Me too. Obviously I'm not the one to talk to about successful marriage but there were some very interesting posts in here and I thank you for them.
I put the next question at the top in a new post.. Thanks again.....Doc
