Understand your partner before taking your marriage vows

Listening to radio stations in the morning forces one to critically think about marriage and relationships. Callers to the stations speak openly about the pain and anguish that they experience. What cuts through, though is that the callers seem to express shock and disbelief at what they consider dramatic changes in the other person.

Just this week one of the radio stations hosted a discussion on the changes that occur when women get better jobs. Several men called in and expressed frustration with what they considered negative changes in their wives or partners, once they got better jobs and opportunities.
