Why Do I Qualify To Speak About Marriage?

I have been married twice... so far (I tell my husband he's the 2nd of 8, like Elizabeth Taylor.) I have been married for 31 years overall. 21 of those years I was married to an Egyptian physician (psychiatrist), and 10 years to my first boyfriend, an African American musician (drummer) - so that must qualify me to have learned something! Both husbands would agree that the amount I know about men you could fit on the head of a pin. I may be a slow learner but at least I can pass along a few pointers to others.
