Marital Bliss?

Key to marital happiness? Let the wife have her way...wives didn't just talk more than their husbands in discussions, but drew favorable responses from their husbands to what they said.

Really?
This is probably more to do with those that talk first and most tend to put their thoughts and feelings on the table first - so always the respondent is in a weaker position, often presenting their view in the knowledge that it will be contested or possibly cause distress. So deference doesn't equate with agreement, nor necessarily does a favourable response ... but a cost-benefit analysis would indicate that it probably results in greater responsiveness during more preferred activities.

And an average wedded time of seven years ... what of that traditional 'itch?'

But then ... where does this fit? Which is the chatty sex? Turns out both are.
