I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.

Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.

Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent.

Men don't deceive their wives unless they love them. When they love them most, they deceive them. It's a form of fidelity, their deceit.

Men don't want another man to look at their woman because they don't know how to handle it.

Men act out like they're horrified by marriage, but when they find the woman of their dreams, they love it.

Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

Women live lives of continual apology. They are born and raised to take the blame for other people's behavior. If they are treated without respect, they tell themselves that they have failed to earn respect. If their husbands do not fancy them, it is because they are unattractive.

I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.

Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.
