happythoughts 0 #1 February 15, 2006 clicky The real deal. This is excerpts from a new book on American husbands. The reasons why they get married and why they stay married. A great article. QuoteIn a national survey of nearly 300 American husbands and in-depth interviews with 70 men in all stages of marriage, Chethik explores what makes them happy and what frustrates them. Here is all I will say about the article. It is as accurate as anything that I have ever read (for me). I agree with it all. The downside? Women will ignore it.
