We noticed an interesting article in the Sydney Moring Herald entitled "Men marry down for fear of infidelity". The article is based on a study that shows that men like to marry women who are not as strong as they are to help keep control. For those interested in this angle, take a look.
Adultry in Hollywood
By Stephen Hunter

WASHINGTON -- Hurts so bad.
You know: When your Other decides to play around, with a younger body, or a more appropriate wit, or a professional pleasure franchisee or any of the other categories of mischief. And whether they confess or you find out on your own, it's the same at the end -- the world turns all to broken glass and spider webs. Maybe you two kids come back from it, maybe you don't.

An expert on this explosive situation is the American director Mike Nichols. The Oscar winner checked into theaters recently with "Closer," an examination on the real crying game, full-contact adultery, leaving plenty of bruises, aches, broken egos and raw feelings. "Closer" is, by my count, the eighth of his 17 features whose plot turns on, or at least details, adultery. He started out with Elizabeth Taylor using it to humiliate Richard Burton in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" In "The Graduate," for which he won his best director Oscar, Mrs. Robinson had tired of poor old Mr. Robinson, and Dustin Hoffman's Ben Braddock was the beneficiary. "Carnal Knowledge," in many ways the direct antecedent of "Closer," watched four adults shift partners and allegiances over the years, just as in Nichols' latest film. "Heartburn" and "Regarding Henry" examined adultery (briefly) as a signifier of character weakness in the behavior of two philanderers played by Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford.
