yeah sorry karen_kay, i realize we did go off on a little tangent.
i have a totally crackpot theory on marriage (since i've never been married, i know squat on the subject):
people do wind up marrying "equals"since your therapist/daddy is nice looking and sharp, he must be flawed in some other way, and his wife is strong in the area he is flawed. she could be an emotional bedrock, and your therapist could have emotional issues (abandonment?) up the wazoo. or a drug habit. or something else that causes insecurity, so that he can have a plain looking wife that's stable and secure.
it's a complement thing. on the balance, i think marriage partners have to be complementary.
