Why Men Need Women

Dear Dr. Laura,

While it should not need to be pointed out that men need women and likewise the opposite - We (you and I) have a different understanding of the "old adage" of "Behind every good man there is a good woman."  You may understand that to be the old adage, but I have heard different.

I have heard "Behind every good man there is a loving and supportive woman; sadly and all too often it is not his wife!"

This may by for a future conversation, and I do understand the implications of the other side of this argument, but what happens when a man works all day and week to come home to a house cold of affection, appreciation and love?  What happens when a man slays dragons all day long at work - perhaps working side by side with his secretary who sees the late nights and hard work he puts in and...?  Or the salesman who is out of town and calls his wife to hear for the umpteenth time about how he is never home then has a dinner appointment with a female client and...?

The scenarios are infinite, but while the discussion of "Why men need women" is valuable it might be prudent to examine "Why women need men" with your listeners.

Something to think about,

Michael
