but I thought I should suggest "Glory Road" by Robert Heinlein as perhaps the best treatment of this topic I have every seen.
My highest recommendation, especially for this forum.

I enjoyed all of them, and maybe for the first time did not even look up the name of the author before reading. Read different work from almost all of the writers here, and the end product is superb! I will be leaving comments under separate stories, but here I have to admit that the Bebop3 narrative of an 11 year old girl was really really good, and not even once made me roll my eyes at the incredulity of conversation or expressed thinking. Will be following these collaborations more closely in the future, that's for sure.
Ive read all the stories. I thank all the authors for their efforts, even the stories I have issues with.
My interpretation must be different than most regarding the depiction of power in most of these stories. In my opinion it seems like power and wealth is confused with selfishness. Most of the characters with so-called power are in fact only selfish and react adversely when the ones the they think they control refuse to "go with the program". It shows that they are in fact powerless by not being able to control the one person they want to control.
In the case of the loving wives stories the wife's power is an illusion. The husband through love of his wife allows the wife to get her way to make her happy. In most cases we don't see the evolution of this and how the wife selfishness turns to disrespect, lying, manipulation, and cheating.
In my opinion a strong marriage is maintained when both spouses are willing to put the other over themselves. When only one does this, the marriage will eventually fail, through cheating, disrespect, etc. most times because the one who is assumed to be lesser of the two finally realized the one sided nature of the relationship.
In my opinion power is trusting your spouse in such a way to love you, care for you, respect you without getting hurt. Once the hurt is revealed the trust is gone.
Just finished all the stories listed, WOW. There was a lot of heart there, well done all, look forward to more in this series or one like it, great reads all.
Finished all the LW stories and they range from very good to unbelievably good. I'm off to catch Bebop, Randi, Piper and other favorites in the other areas. This invitational has been great.
