text: why is it that always wife has to adjust and compromise in the married life? this is not fair...?   because we are stronger mentally, we don't have tunnel vision, we are adaptable, we are emotional, we can cry, we are usually the one doing everything possible to work it out, we are willing to talk, scream, get emotional, we do call these things talking it out by the way. most of all because we have to! it is not fair, but it seems to be in our "make-up" of how god created us.  we were created for them, not them for us.
