You might be criticized for the article, but there's a lot of truth to what you say. I'd say the major attributes a woman can bring to the relationship are a sense of joy independent from her partner and an effort not to criticize, belittle, and undermine him. My relationship of 45 years is fun and happy still. But my sister always tells me I am by nature a little indifferent at times, which keeps my partner intrigued. I don't try to be indifferent. I am just being me.
