Conversely, if a woman at the start of the relationship, decides to love the entire package, surely she will overlook what a man lacks. Love in marriage is not about having butterflies in one's stomach whenever the guy is near her. It is not an emotion, it is always a brain activity. I just learned this lately. As a wife, I learned to forgive my husband's tardiness which I could hardly do in my younger years. I learn to accept what he is not. Whenever he is late, I always nurture that sense of gratitude to the One above for allowing our paths to cross. My husband gave me (equally) good genes and certainly with no psychopath in his lineage. I have a beautiful 2 year-old daughter who stands 3'2" and can read. Is it not amazing? We thought we were the wisest in the house but our little girl outsmarts us most often. With such thought and having been away from him for quite some time would always bring me back to my consideration...EUGENICS. I have the all the best that I need. To borrow the words of Loida Nicolas-Lewis that go like this: Why would I take a commoner when I have married a prince?
