A man's mother has more influence on him than any other person, real or fictional, living or dead."</I><BR/>Funny words, but I think they're true enough.<BR/><BR/>As for that article about children spoiling marital happiness: where is it? Your <I>Focus On The Family</I> buddies refused to either give further details OR supply a link in order to read what was actually said. I suspect it's not <I><B>quite</I></B> what they claim it to be.
