Love and Marriage. Well this will be interesting I thought to myself since neither really apply to me. And personally, I’m not sure if the two words belong together at all. What I was expecting was a chick with ditzy anecdotes about married life and impressions of men snoring.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear a down to earth Australian lass give us her rather honest observations on life. Cath Styles reminds me of a woman who would capture all the attention at a bbq, drink in one hand and the other hand used as an expression tool. She has a very common sense approach to life (a necessity with four sons) and is funny because she would be saying out loud what most women would be questioning or thinking.
Listening to her made me feel like I was missing a table to lean on while sipping on a drink while nodding my head and laughing. Another surprise is that she didn’t bag the opposite sex as much as I thought, instead she came up with some clever analogies about the importance of keeping a relationship good and why you always meet the right man at the wrong time.
But then again she didn’t need to mock the opposite sex, when she candidly mentioned the contents of a newborns nappy…. A great show that will appeal to wide variety of people.
