12757914, that's what her point is.

it's key that she brought this up in the context of being a mom. b/c it's easy for marrieds w/children to put so much focus on the kids that they take each other for granted. her larger point is that it's dangerous for spouses to take each other for granted. in her world that sort of taking for granted is manifested in wearing sweats. in your world it takes some other form.

if you are actually married or if you've spent enough quality time around married ppl to develop some insight into their world then you should understand where she's coming from fairly easily.

of course, if you're more interested in a 'gotcha!' thing it's also pretty easy to take her statement out of context or to exaggerate the statement to serve some point she wasn't making.

she went wrong where she extrapolated som'n specific she does to make HER man happy and projected that on all wives. b/c plenty wives have spouses who don't mind them wearing comfy clothes around the house and some are even turned on by that. but her main point was uncontroversial - it's important to remember do those things that make your spouse happy. marriages get in trouble when spouses get so focused on kids or something(s) else that they stop doing those things that make their spouse happy. when they take for granted that they can keep the spouse w/o doing those specific things they know their spouse likes.
