		<description>Thanks for your comments, ladies. Great input!

I don&#039;t think I made this very clear in the post, but what really strikes me is what the blogger said, &quot;Many men are nearly totally unaware of a woman’s need for romantic love. For men, romance might be an added benefit, but certainly not a requirement. &quot; 

This just blows my mind. I mean, what woman doesn&#039;t know that the &quot;conjugal right&quot; is a requirement of marriage? Yet, most men (it seems) are totally unaware of the woman&#039;s most basic needs, and even seem to prefer it this way. This is just stunning to me.</description>

		<description>I have noticed this myself and I think it stems from this view from society that men and women can do what they want, when they want, with who they want, and there are no consequences.  As a result the &#039;traditional&#039; marriage falls to the wayside.  Each spouse/partner can treat the other like crap because it&#039;s acceptable in society today.

I think there should always be a feeling of courtship in marriages.  My husband &#039;courted&#039; me in the beginning and it was almost old fashioned but it was good for us.  People need to look at marriage as more than a sexual relationship as well.  It&#039;s about heart and soul as well.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s sad that anyone would tolerate bad behavior.  Sad to say but there are many people who are primitive and feel a woman&#039;s place is best in the kitchen and seen but not heard.

I think in today&#039;s world some people tolerate it because they know there is a lot of crappy people in this world AND some have children and don&#039;t want to put their children through the battles of divorce.  I also feel people put each other&#039;s needs first rather than putting God first so they don&#039;t see the whole picture of God&#039;s plan for them.

Marriage is work, but it can be a wonderful union if you learn to accept each other&#039;s differences and respect one another.  Kind of like you did when you met.  My husband and I complain and play around.  We disagree, but I know we both feel safe with each at the end of the day and are glad not to be part of this single world.  It&#039;s a scary place!

Looking forward to reading your other blogs.  See you around hopefully.</description>

		<description>I guess communication is one of the best factor to make a relationship stronger and lasting... if both parties will be able to communicate their needs/wants, they will be able to work out things to gain a satisfying and loving relationship. But if one of them will not listen carefully and do something, the action wouldn&#039;t be successful. 

Inequality has long founded its roots long before... and I guess women and men are limited to what is already labeled... that both sexes has its natural personalities... People tend to tolerate it since yes it is already &quot;natural&quot;. 

If people are more open-minded to what are the issues of inequality, then I guess there will be change.</description>
