[QUOTE="Fran, post: 278130, member: 3"] Somehow, the human element comes through. I think that is the draw. Who doesn't feel like they made a decision without really thinking the consequences or understanding them? None of us make the perfect decisions and hopefully it allows us to understand someone else's imperfection. I'm sure there are many husbands who feel beleagured or wives who are assertive and driven. Or husbands who are assertive and driven with wives who feel beleagured. It makes Jon and Kate just like us. If you take away the cameras they are still a couple who are struggling how to make a marriage work or to get through this low point and to raise decent kids. The national conversation about this couple seems to allow us to verbalize what we like and dislike in marriages. It's probably therapeutic in that you realize that you aren't the only one who is struggling in a marriage with stress, changes, exhaustion, worry, disinterest in each other and possible changes from the person they were when they got married. It doesn't have to be because of the camera or 8 kids or publicity. They are dealing with the stuff all of us deal with in the highs and lows of marriage. I can't help but hope that they try to find a way to like the person that they married so that they can move into a better chapter in their married life. in my humble opinion, of course. [/QUOTE]
