[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every woman I know who's married to a lawyer is miserable. They say their husbands are liars and manipulative.

Is this typical?[/quote]

I can't quote percentages.  But I've known as many happy attorney marriages as unhappy, as many virtuous men as not.

When practiced well, the law is one of the healing professions, with doctors and priests.  Commensurate with the ideal is the degree of temptation to pride, and arrogance, and duplicity, and power.

[b]If a man is weak in character, then the law will give him plenty of opportunities to fail as a person.[/b]

I will admit that I've said, on occasion, "Don't talk like a lawyer to me!". But my husband is scrupulously honest, patient with his (sometimes reprehensible) clients, and kind.  But that is because he is a good man whose profession is the law.

Even he admits he can understand why so many attorneys turn to alcohol, though.[/quote]

I think that is true regardless of profession, or gender. A strong character is essential.[/quote]
