and, as a mother, wife and corporate executive, she doesn't do herself any favors in her "explaination". Is marriage a partnership - yes of course. Does it need to be a partnership along the lines of a 1950's sitcom to be "successful" - no.

We'll be celebrating our 19th year anniversary tomorrow and our marriage isn't even remotely build along the lines she's advocating. I asked my DH to read both her original article and this "explaination" and his response reminded me of why I fell in love and married him in the first place. (Which I will leave to the imagination - but it worked for me!)
