I’m not generally a huge fan of Caitlin Flanagan, but she nails it here:
And so two more American families discover a truth as old as marriage: a lasting covenant between a man and a woman can be a vehicle for the nurture and protection of each other, the one reliable shelter in an uncaring world — or it can be a matchless tool for the infliction of suffering on the people you supposedly love above all others, most of all on your children.

That’s a very good article. Thanks for the link.
I think Stephanie Coontz’s artilce about modern marriage is also very interesting. I shared this article with a friend, and he said his life/marriage would be a ship wreck with the his relationships with various friends.

I’m sorry you had to remove your advice to stepmoms article. I hate it when trolls show up.
