- Far be it from me to pee in the punch, but while *both* of the above
- posters are correct... (a marriage *does* take constant attention, and nit-
- picks *should* not be grounds for divorce) ... there are *some* differences
- that cannot be resolved by `a little more work' or `a little more love'.
- Love does *not* conquer all... much... perhaps even *most*, but not all.
-
- Just a small dose of reality, at least from within *my* bubble.
