A very good post, @papa-pepper! It is thought to provoke for both men and women. It takes two to make a relationship work. Selfishness works both ways. When I married my husband 40 years ago it was with the intent that we would work together to build on the relationship and with however children, we may have. Relationships take commitment. That's a tough word in today's society. My husband and I have made many sacrifices over the years for the good of the relationship and that of our children, and now the grandchildren. It comes down to love and respect. There is no doubt i my mind that either of us have laid down our lives for each other and our family. Give the dead the respect they have earned. Not everyone is a saint.

It does come down to love and respect. 40 years of marriage can testify to two people both laying down their lives, all life long. Very good point, and congratulations.
