Oh men!

So many of you [it's general, not personal] fail to see the point that
women's aim in marriage is not to criticize or approve of this or that
indulgence of their husbands, but to indulge in something together.
Irrespective of the culture.
Just a thought.

... and on personal questions:

Are they equally spontaneous when answering as they are when asking?
And how about keeping secrets?
Extremely spontaneous people are sometimes not capable of it.

 >That brings cases of "foot in

This brings assocciation with foot-and-mouth which is a cattle disease.
But it's not what you meant, I believe.   : )

... then on the 'say' vs 'do' people:

>In India there are consequences of extra-marital affairs and
divorce.
In west, I understand from books and movies, it is every family
affair.<

Books and films are usually made to satisfy the readers' and viewers' need
for sensational plots rather than to give the objective picture of social
and family life [which recently refers to a large number of documentaries
too, I'm afraid].

The phenomenon has become more frequent, but I still wouldn't say it's
'every family affair'.

... next, on teaching:

>One can provide whatever external input, but the student has to
be ready to accept that input and process it.<

Very much true. No matter which subject is being studied
That should clear the basic misunderstanding of the role of a teacher.
It is not to FEED information IN the student's brain, the latter being
passive.
It is to HELP him UNDERSTAND difficult points and to HELP him LEARN how to
GATHER further information and BUILD UP his knowledge in order to USE it.

That's what I've been trying to explain to my students and their parents
since when I learnt it myself [which was not at the university but after I
started teaching].

I am not always successful, I'm afraid.
