STAYING MARRIED Don?t let the things that attracted you to one another be the things that drive you apart

(ContentDesk) June 20, 2004 -- I met Dave at work and our relationship became apparent to everyone almost immediately.
Our love bloomed like time-lapse photography.
It wasn't long before he asked me to consider moving in with him, but I held out for marriage because having a husband rather than a roommate seemed like a good idea at the time.And it was.
He was funny, easy-going, smart, respected and several years older than I.
I was intelligent, ambitious, hard-driving and immature.

He was my anchor, always making a joke when things got too serious, always taking things in stride and always willing to forgive and forget.
I relied on his humor to help erase my fears and concerns. His easy manner wouldn't permit reproach for mistakes I'd made or for the unfeeling things I said when my temper flared.
Everyone said I was lucky to have him.He loved my spaghetti, my figure, my decisiveness, my ability to state my thoughts and opinions which were often different from most, and the order I'd given my life.
It followed a script only an inexperienced young person knowing little about the unpredictability of life would write.

Everyone said we were made for each other.Over the years of our marriage we forged careers, had a child, made good friends, traveled and were spared many of the traumas, heartaches, losses and sorrows others suffer.
I felt fortunate, but I complained anyway. "If you tell that corny joke one more time, I'll lose my mind!"
"Why don't you pick the restaurant for once?
Scared to take the blame if the food's no good?
Go ahead, live a little!"
"You're so content!
Don't you ever want something different, or bigger or better?!"
"Why do I always have to be the one to make change?""But, I haven't changed.
I like things like they are,"
was his response whenever I complained.
He hadn't changed and to me change was exactly what we needed.

My complaining reached our son's ears one day when my voice rose above its usual volume.
He took me aside later that morning and calmly told me the truth."Mom, you've got just what you need.
Dad's perfect for you.
He puts up with you and doesn't complain.
And, you put up with him, even though you do.

You're spoiled!
You wouldn't put up with the things other men dish out.
You talk about the relationships your girlfriends have and how you wouldn't do what they do for any man! You need to appreciate Dad more. Like when I've see you at the window looking out at a heavy snow and how relieved you are when he pulls into the driveway.
Sometimes you're in the den and he's in the living room reading and you both seem so content to occupy the same house and be there together.
The sense of protection you must feel when you warn him to wear sunblock, or remind him to take his glasses.

The good times that make you two smile every time you recall them."
He paused.
"That's what I want.
Someone who loves cares and doesn't find fault.
Someone who'll be there when my jokes are corny, when I'm unsteady or unsure.
Someone who's in it for the long haul.

Someone uncomplaining like you, Mom," he winked. He's so much like his father.? 2004About Dr. Cecile Fort??Dr. Cecile Fort? is a professional member of the National Speakers Association.

Seattle Mardi-Gras Revelers Drink in the Name of Science and Give this Hangover Helper a Try

In Seattle Washington, during Mardi-Gras week we decided to do an experiment with a well know hangover prevention pill.
To see if it really worked.We asked 10 people each of the five nights to take RU-21 while they drank.
As they drank we had each of them take 1 pill with each drink.
Over the course of the evening people had anywhere from 2 to 8 drinks.
We also made sure they got home safely since RU-21 does not prevent intoxication.We spoke with them the next day to see how they felt, if it worked for them and if they would take it again.

A resounding 100% of party goers that took RU-21 all agreed it worked for them, they did not feel hung over and would continue to take it in the future when they drink alcohol.Many of those had taken other hangover prevention pills in the past and been disappointed at their results so they were reluctant to try RU-21.
These were all different people. The age range of those participating was vast...
