It is long known that you get two types in men and women.  Strong and weak.  Then there are only four possible combinations.  Strong<>Strong.  Strong<>Weak.  Weak<>Strong.  Weak<>Weak.  The exact facts and execution are debatable as Vidette said.  Strong women may take weak men since they may want children or other benefits out of the relationship.  This happens at the first meeting.  It is uncanny how this negotiation happens.  All on the unseen level.  The first five seconds count.  Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor is prime example of the first combination above.  Eternal bliss? not on your nelly!

The real problem is to learn the give and take.  Mutual respect.  Space for the other's ideas.  In some marriages you cannot even see the woman is the strong one.  Why?  She puts hubby on a pedestal of respect and love.  The question is the depth of spirit, which is what Angus is all about.  The moment you want to bargain the thing, you do not have a marriage. The bad trade will fail
