This is a tempting trap that many women fall into. It most likely affects the divorce rate, so beware and take care. At some point in a marriage we all get to the “comfort zone”. This can occur at any time depending on the woman. The point is that she goes into a “mode”. One of her lowest priorities becomes caring for herself and her appearance. It all begins with spending less time on the hair, which then leads to less time taken on the face. Then there’s a loss of interest in shaving the legs, and finally showering all together becomes neglected. It just goes down hill from there. Sadly, the things that tend to take precedence over one’s own self are everyday duties and obligations. Tasks like transporting kids to school & activities, going to the store, cleaning the house, and picking up dry cleaning all become more important. This is the beginning of becoming a “Give-up Girl” and eventually she loses who she is altogether.

I love the suggestion that overalls are "presentable" or that wearing a scrunchie constitutes an attractive hairstyle. Was this article written in 1986??

I THINK THIS IS A VERY IMFORMATIVE SUBJECT. WE AS WOMEN SHOULD ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AND IF YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE BY POINTING OUT THEIR MISTAKES THEN DO JUST THAT. KEEP UP THE POSITIVE WORK!!!!

Poorly written and an awful subject. What do you care what people look like and who are you to tell women how they should look and how a "nice layer of makeup" is the best thing? Jeesh, I'm guessing you're not married and you're just jealous! Ha.
