Summary: Davidsen's reply


	 I'd like to say at the start that I'm glad Bill Davidsen
	 shared his opinions to the net about what he has 
	 observed in marriage.  It's good to hear from someone
	 who has been married for 23 years...

	 Now let me rip into him!

	Wait!  Hold on!  I have accouple of things to say:

	Firstly, isn't it alittle bit strong to call people 'losers'
	in marriage. Why? Just becasue they haven't reached the 'high-level'
	or marriage that you have?  Do you think you're better than them?

	Secondly, just because I'm not married yet doesn't mean I don't
	have valid points or opinions.  In fact, I didn't see anything in
	your article that disputed any of my points (since I have 10
	of them you'd think you'd at least hit one :-))

	Quite the contrary, you agree that physical attraction is not
	the major point of importance and seem to agree with me that
	no one side is dominant - that both sides give in alittle.

	So what's the problem?

	Please, don't set yourself up as being virtuous because you
	resisted the temptation to respond.
	If you have something to say to me then fire away, I'm ready.

			Still happily awaiting marriage,
