Give Up

As a senior at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, I often
engage women psychology majors in heated discussions
about male-female relationships. Once, my friend Shelly and I
got into a hot debate about whether men or women make the
larger sacrifice of their respective gender characteristics when
they get married. To my surprise, Shelly agreed with me that
men give up far more than women.

"You're right, Steve," she said. "Men generally give up doing
their cleaning, their cooking, their grocery shopping, their
laundry."
