Exactly. I feel the same with my husband. There are obviously cuter and more charismatic men out there but I mesh so well with him that I dont have a desire to be in multiple relationships.

It just kind of makes me wonder why Firestone would believe this since he studied families for years. He must have seen a lot of resentment in most marriages to come to this conclusion. But, then again, a lot of us shouldn't be in committed relationships!
