Women want stuff and men want sex; both are prostitutes and love be damned. Ick. Nothing against prostitution, it just doesn't describe my marriage.
Honestly, though, I tend to think of myself as being in a parallel universe to people who swallow this line. My universe is people by cool folk who celebrate holidays because they mean something special to them, not because everyone else says they ought to and by the way buy stuff. I'm a big believer in spontaneous romance, but at the same time, there's much to be said for setting aside a special day for something more planned. Balance is a good thing.
