I see the "skills" in my friends, my brother, and in what I read. Strong men who would handle the bumps of my M with little trouble, or avoided them altogether with a smile and a laugh.
I wouldn't be so sure. I used to have people ask me what the key was to keeping a marriage strong, my marriage was a lighthouse to others who strove to accomplish what my W and I had. It seemed like nothing could rock our impossibly solid marriage. Boy did I get blindsided. I think a lot of "successful" marriages out there contain a ticking WAS or MLC time bomb just waiting to blow everything to smithereens.
