Family & Relationships - 8 July 2006

My husband and I are both 26 and will be celebrating our 4th anniversary this month. We are both very much in love and have a 10 month old son together, but just like many other couples out there we have our fair share of arguments and disagreements. I would like to think that we'll be happily married for as long as we're both alive, but the statistics aren't in our favor. I would like to know what I can do to ensure that my marriage will be happy and healthy and not end in divorce, and also how to help the rest of the married couples in America to stay happily married as well.

The divorce rate in this country is ridiculously high. There has to be a way to help keep families together. Divorces and broken homes lead to so many other problems, and I think that reducing the divorce rate needs to be a higher national priority.

I'm a married, female, field sales rep, and have been calling on this customer (married, too). For a few months now, we've been flirting with each other. I know that it's wrong to want anything more than innocent flirting with him, but why do I always feel nervous with butterflies in my stomach each time I'm around him? I sense he's the same way, although we try so hard to keep it cordial and diplomatic. What's your take on all this? Is there a mutual admiration here (I know I admire him)? Is it OK to keep it going? Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

I've been married for 8 years and my husband is wonderful. I love him because he is my best friend. But I don't feel like I am IN LOVE with him anymore and I'm not sure if I ever was. I'm feeling a little lost

Need advice on how can tell if a relationship/marriage is based on sex or not. There is alots of love, but sometime it feels like it is based on sex everytime we turn around we are having sex. It is a physical attraction but what about everything else?

I live a long way from my dad, but will be traveling sort of close to his local. I will have a couple of free days b4 my scheduled activity. I love my dad alot. Thing is, I also have a lot of anger issues with his wife and my little sister. There has been a lot of disappointment.

I think I would feel horrible if I passed up an opportunity like this, but the guilt trips they would play, regardless, would be unpleasant as well.

Still not convinced I should go.

What should I do?

ok i feel like i am one of those guyz from early ages...i am very shy when it comes to attractive girls...first i find it hard to say anything and even if i do speak i tend to be very formal and act like a gentlemen…usually girlz tend to think I am not interested type of signal….and normally it remains that way...i am unable to speak my mind, flirt, and most of all be a bit informal type...i have a hard time starting a conversation with them....could it be my confidence? my eastern culture? or cuz i don't smoke/drink and go to parties... i am a good looking guy but i am sick of not being able to approach a girl in a way that would let the girl know that I am interested...or even to be just frndz…plz Girls give me tips as to how u feel a guy should approach you & guyz share your proven skills with me? I am not desprate but I feel like I am missing out big time…

PS: I am quite fun/funny but only when a friendship/relationship is formed..

I always wanted to be a stay at home mom. My husband and I realized that that might never happen and we decided to have a baby and have me go back to work. We have a beautiful son. I spend as much time with him as I can and love him SO much. He's a happy and content child, but I still find myself wishing and holding on to the idea of being at home full time. Financially, losing my paycheck is not a possibility. Even if we cut down on everything. Am I a fool to hold out hope? Are there legitimate ways out there to pull in a good income while spending more time at home. ANY advice, practical or emotional would be such a help. Thank you.

Okay, then... I'm all fine if my sister wants to sleep together with her bf (still, if her bf betrays her or treats her like a whore, I'll break his neck!). She's an adult already, and she has her own life and manages it herself.

The real issue is while having sex, she screams, moans, and talks dirty so loud that it annoys me a bit.... Now, I still want to respect her privacy and since I also have sex in our flat with my gf... but I don't think we make too much noise while consummating our love... (or don't we...?)

Anybody... help me, please? What should I tell them? What should I do then?

PS: I'm 20 and my sis is 19...

I have a child that I lost to his father due to my husband but we still love each other and I have 2 children with him versus 1 child with the other. The 1 child is happy where he is and the 2 children I have with my husband are happy when we all are together and are not when we are separated as we have been for about 9 months but see each other when possible (everyday if can). Problem is 2 children's happiness outweighs 1 child's happiness. I cant seem to win both, need a NON judgemental, open minded and little religious advice.
