Fear of what, in this context? Unless the woman wants to stay in the marriage for reasons other than sexual satisfaction, what does she have to fear? If her husband is so lousy in bed compared to her previous lovers that she doesn't want to stay monogamous, the threat of divorce isn't going to scare her. Or she just walks out herself. The fear thing would work only if you wanted to stick with TM and go to the domes and on courses, etc. If you had found TM's programs inferior to those you'd experienced before learning TM, why would you want to stay in good standing? Or stay at all? ------------------------ Yahoo!
