Also, with divorce rate as it is now, there needs to be some understanding of the commitment that is made when being married. The more info you can pump into newly married couples and refresher courses throughout, the better.

Yes, I'm divorced and probably sounds odd coming from me.
Not at all! Really.

But you're so artistic, I know you can somehow manage to take bits and pieces of each one and make the perfect smiley for him.

Dobson is by no means an expert.

The real cause is tv!!!!

No, I don't use the "dolls."

I remember a certain District Official who had a habit of asking the ministers in his section specifics of their sex life. I always thought this was really twisted. I wasn't in this section and had I been asked, I would have politely told him that it was personal and that I NEVER discuss those issues with anyone.

I am far more concerned about a couple's relationship with each other than I am about their sex life. I have found that the sex life pretty much takes care of itself if the relationships are intact.
Excellent post, I couldn't agree with you more on this subject.
