I disagree with this -- I think women have unrealistic expectations for marriage, particularly post-kids. They let the intimacy wither and die and then wonder why DH isn't feeling romantic/connected with them. I know lots of women who also make parenting choices that trap them into "Mom does it all" dynamics but they won't do anything to extricate themselves from those patterns because of...anxiety? Control issues? Internalized misogyny?

If you don't tolerate dead bedrooms, and if you don't create parenting dynamics and patterns that trap you into resentment, you're much more likely to have a successful marriage.

Gosh darn it. Why didn’t those women do all the day to day stuff and create parenting rules, dynamics and patterns and try to get their partner involved more. Gosh darn it. Just tell your male partner what needs doing, and he will always be involved! Voila! 
Oh and don’t have a dead bedroom, while creating your 50/50 magical parenting dynamic keep at it! [/quote]
