some people have a feeling that if they let their partner have their way in the beginning of the relationship,they'll never be able to "control" them later on.so right from the beginning,they try to impose their likings on the other person and to make them behave in the way they like.of the two individuals,the smarter one usually gets his/her way,while the other one silently/noisily succumbs to his/her likes.....sigh!

although most couples swear to equality in their relationship when they start off,it seldom remains that way on the long run.

Going to church no more makes you a Christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. ~ Garrison Keillor
