Dear Sarah, Kiddos to you!!! Women are more on the emotional side and hence they tend to be very careful when going in for long term commitments, as they get the lion's share when it comes to bearing the trauma of physical abuse, emotional turmoil, liabilities after marriage etc. For men it is easy to lay a woman and then, to later forget about the incident, to behave as if nothing had happened at all (I am not saying about all the men-folk under God's beautiful sun), for a woman to have sex with her husband means much more than just a mere physical encounter. She is sharing something with him which is priceless and considered divine. Something which she cant offer to every guy she meets. Thats why a marriage is said to be 'Holy Matrimony'. When a woman surrenders her virginity to her husband, she expects much in return. On the contrary when she is used and thrown out from his heart and life like a mere dispensable commodity, she feels abused, shattered and heart-broken, which is exactly why most women are wary and skeptical of one-night stands and affairs, and prefer sex within the confinements of marriage. My heart truly goes out to divorcees. More articles like this are needed.
