A Woman and Her Six Husbands
Are 6 husbands better than 1...or 0?

The other day, I saw a guy on TV who was promoting his new book, "The Six Husbands Every Woman Should Have."  I stopped what I was doing to have a look and listen.  Geez, if I'd known I should have six husbands, marriage might have been more appealing to me.  It was the whole finding-one-and-till-death-do-us-part thing that tripped me up.

I quickly learned that, unfortunately,  he did not mean a woman should have six different husbands.  Instead, what he meant was that a man has to evolve to adapt to the changes in his life over the years and there are apparently six such phases…and that he becomes a different man with each change.  I actually think it's probably an exaggeration that he becomes a different man over the years…or that he even changes that many times.  But, I get it.  No doubt it sells books.  Just like I stopped doing what I was doing to watch, I'm sure many others did, too.  If I was married, I might even have picked up the book.
