ParticipantI’m surprised as well. In my personal experience, the woman I was with did NOT want to buy (it was me who wanted a nest). Stereotypes won’t stick.
I’m sure a lot of marriages will be affected by the coming storm though.

ParticipantConsidering the antagonism some men have toward women, I’m surprised that those men are married to women. It seems like they would be happier as homosexuals, mated with their own kind.

ParticipantThank you, SDowner.
My spouse appreciates very much that I am very conservative and practical with our finances. Compared to him, I am a cheapskate. I try my best to cook all our delicious meals to avoid eating out, for example. I penny-pinch, period. However, I give way to the joys of HIS life too, like his brand-new 1100-cc Honda Shadow we bought for cash, for him to “save gas” (yeah, right….)
But maybe there is truth that sometimes the wife has more of a need to keep up with the Joneses. There are exceptions like us, of course – (they call us the weirdos, ha-ha.)

ParticipantPerryChase,
I’m pretty sure (read: Hope to god!) you don’t have kids yet, but are you married? It sure doesn’t sound like it. While there might be cases where the article’s point is valid, to generalize that women have that much control in a successful marriage is way off-base.
