Liz, 190: Yes. Respect isn’t the key to marriage. It’s required, but not sufficient. Same with love — Required, but not sufficient.
What is required and essential is sexual attraction. That’s how they get together in the first place (or, at least, how they are SUPPOSED to get together).
His sexual attraction to her is pretty simple and easy to take care of. Both easy (as in not difficult to accomplish) and simple (as in uncomplicated).
Her sexual attraction to him is much, much more difficult. It’s not necessarily complex; it’s just that it’s much rarer and more difficult to establish and sustain.
Most women are married to men to whom they’re not as sexually attracted as the men they used to have sex with. Most women just aren’t all that aroused by their husbands.
