Screen 2 of 16

Now, I know you said you there is a dominant side of every woman, though my wife has been able to play a little its been hard fought. See, she says it's not in her nature. I guess I'm asking for a bit much, I'd like you to give me the magic word to make everything fall into place, but even I know that this can't be. I've taken to helping her out around the house a little more, and I've shown her your web site, but of course all she saw was the negative features in her eyes, such as the woman that has 3 children from different fathers and the kids know their arrangement. Right away she says she could never respect a man like this, and I have to agree with her when she says she can't Love someone she doesn't respect. How do you suggest we straddle this line?

A. So when your wife eats at a buffet or a cafeteria, does she eat all that is on the menu? Or does she only select those items that appeal to her while leaving those which do not? I ask this because if she was offended by one story, she should not disregard the entire lifestyle.
