Although shocking in his out-of-the-box comments, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butler is a disquieting reminder of how societal norms have changed, maybe not in the Life Gets Better movement.

My father and mother, born in 1911 and 1916, both insisted that women should be economically independent, particularly in a marital relationship. They firmly believed this affords women an equal and safe footing in marriage.

I also had three children, all of whom, as adults, are successful. Women, mothers, and wives must make choices that will enhance their lives, including their marriages.
