What is all this selfishness manifesting itself. When I went into marriage,
it was with the belief that his possessions and my possessions became OUR
possessions. Naturally, there are things that are harder to share, such as
clothing, and I'm sure each of us owns books that the other never would,
but the vast majority of our belongings are now common property.

The whole point of marriage is the union of two poeple, and whether you see it
as physical, emotional, spiritual, legal, or whatever, if you don't approach
it as a joint venture in which each partner contributes what they are capable
of, and both share equally in the rewards, then you might as well not bother
getting married. It will be a waste of your time. Every good marriage I have 
seen had one thing in common, and that is that both partners are willing to be
less self-centered and give freely to each other, in time, effort, patience,
and concern. The question should not be, "If this doesn't wqrk, how can I get
my money back?", but rather, "How can I get this to work?"
