Difficult In-Laws: Severing the Umbilical Cord (Part 1)
A problem in marriage today is when a married man has not yet severed the umbilical cord with his mother. The man who puts his mommy first, before his wife, will have a terrible marriage. This kind of a guy does not understand what his position is as a husband because he is still living as a little boy. If a “mommies boy” marries the type of woman who wants a husband instead of a son for a marriage partner, there will be incompatibility problems. Some wives’ don’t mind mothering their husbands but many women want a man who is in control of his life and knows what he wants.

I don't know the details or particulars of the study as they were not given in very much depth. But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.

The Power of Hope

A glowing bath, with candles everywhere, and a third note.
