What Our Readers Say
Commcnt s such as "You
don'l bother to sneak up behind
your
husband
and kiss
him
li ke
you used to do. T he children
seem
10
takc up al! your time
and thcrc's nothing left over for
your
husband,"
are not from a
woman's perspective. What
happcncd to the himfher con–
text'?
What year was this man born
in anyway? ls he not aware of
the economic recession. does he
live in this real world, or in his
own idealistic world?
Many men take great plea–
sure in hclping their wi ves
around thc house and feeding
the children, bathing them,
etc., and because of this a bond–
ing occurs not only with their
children but with their wives as
well. Couples working. work
togcthcr to help maintain their
home. children, etc.• and thus
they reap the rewards
together.
They are a unit- a
family.

would appreciate to hear
your comments.

Sorry you were annoyed.
In the original draft the author
had the husband sneaking up
behind the wife. Later he
reversed it . The article was
based on che tradicional f ami/y
structure with the husband as
the breadwinner and the wife
as keeper of the home. We
realize that a fairly /arge per–
centage of households no lon–
ger operate on this premise.
Men should help their wives
whenever possib/e.
Would you be so kind to
extend my admiration on the
way the author put the essence
of happiness in marriage in the
article " Whe n the Kissing
Begins to Stop." lt's like a shot
in lhe bull's eye. Many books
and leclures stress the cosmet–
ics and frills within marriage.
John Ross Schroeder opencd up
lhe core of the trulh wherein
the deepest sa tisfaction lies
between lwo human beings who
have choscn to spend their lives
together.

1
have just read your very
intercst ing and informative ar–
ticle: " Hell: Man's Idea vs. The
Bible." Bul what
1
real! y find
puzzling is " Heaven: Man 's
Idea vs. The Bible." Most
dcnomina ti o ns preach that
heavcn is where the souls of the
"good" people go after death.
but they don't say what s uch
souls do in heaven.
l'm sure an article on "Heav–
cn: Man's Idea vs. The Bible"
would clarify a lot of wrong
ideas people a re suffering
under.
