"The first job of motherhood is to get a child safely to the stage where its father is ready for fatherhood."
"Marriage is nature's way of ensuring that a woman picks up some mothering experience before she has her first child."
"There is a sense of danger a man feels in romance that he doesn't feel in marriage, marriage being the danger."
"A woman will marry a man for what he has, or she will marry a man because she is all he has."
"What to do about the divorce rate? Well, maybe couples performing the wedding act could use a marriage control device."

Very cute, Robert!
At 54, my husband's face still lights up like Christmas, when we have a meal 'like his mom used to make.' The Campbells green bean casserole must be part of it! ;o)
All the best, Maria
Maria,
I had in mind a little more serious mothering than just fixing a favorite dish, but perhaps I'm being a little too hard on us males.

I guess we all want and need a mother's tenderness now and then...
but the green bean casserole was the first thing that came to my mind...wonder what that means about me? ;o)
I have 9 grandchildren, a husband and a son, My husband and son are still my biggest kids, you'd think by now I would have had enough practice!
Maria
Usually when a green bean casserole is the first thing to come to mind, it means less than you might think.
Marlene,
Yes, you've had enough practice. Go ahead and have another kid.
smiles,
