men talking about where they met their future mates, what attracted
them, how and when they knew that she was "The One," and why
they decided to marry. Don't expect a clear answer to any of

on "The Subconscious Side of Marriage" with insights from experts.
Author Russell Wild offers worthwhile commentary, including
the useful 12 "revelations and confessions" (why, how, when,
and whom men typically decide to marry) and "what every single
woman should know." Wild's conclusion after compiling all the
interview information about why men decide to marry? "Who the
hell knows?" and "Why in the world not?" If you don't mind not
getting a conclusive answer, you'll enjoy the read and the opportunity
