But having been married for not quite 38 years (and no,we didn't know each other in high school,nor even in college!),I can tell you how a GREAT marriage works.
Well, you know, it all stems from people not being honest going into the thing. You get these guys who have no clue as to why they're getting married other than some vague notions about access to sex and it's what "you're supposed to do." Then you have women who bend themselves around like a pretzel to please the guy. Sooner or later, one or both of them wake up. Sometimes they both wake up together, which is always amusing in an extremely dark kind of way.
