[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. 
I have a happy marriage and DH is a wonderful husband and father.  For me it was a combination of -
- Having great parents, happy childhood and adulthood and seeing example of a good marriage growing up. 
- Having extremely supportive male figures in my life, namely, my two grandfathers, dad, uncles, brothers, my research advisor. 
- Being very well educated and financially emancipated. 
- Not caring if I ever married. My life was full and meaningful even as a single woman. 
- Having a LOT of male friends, relatives and collegues.  I learned something from each of them. I was however not in a relationship (or hooking up) with them.  I just remained comfortable in any male dominated enviornment. 
- Doing the work necessary (along with my DH) to make our marriage work. It is a choice sans abuse/adultry/addiction.

I agree with all of this. It was “luck” in crossing paths with my DH (helps that I attended a very prestigious but male dominated graduate program), but I never wavered on knowing my self worth and holding a high bar on integrity, EQ, communication skills, commitment to marriage and similar long-term goals.
