Oh I agree . . . . and I know it was a generalization, but then again, most theories ARE generalizations
But Maybe if we re-define "giving". Ever heard the phrase "you're not really giving if you're only giving things that people don't need."? Or any other phrase similar to that?
Marriage is hard work. Our wives/husbands may spend hours tending to kids, parents, etc . . . and that is "giving", its just not giving to US. If I only pay the bills and clean the house, Im giving, but Im may not be giving things that she needs.
I guess what Im saying is, Is it really giving if we only give things that are easy/convenient/mutually needed?
