Great advice Dr. Helen.
As a 29 yr old 3 years out of a failed marriage and totally failing in the dating scene I hope those stats for people in my age group are correct. Even though part of me says I’m stupid for wanting it but I’d like to be married to a a good woman and have a family.
If I could add a couple pieces of advice I learned from my divorce.
Guys: Find out what emotinal needs your wife has and meet those. I realized much too late that emotional needs unmet in a marriage just encourages someone to find someone else to meet those needs.
Gals: Encourage your husband in his healthy hobbies. Just because you don’t like what he likes doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to participate and enjoy them with him. For me it was video games, I would have loved if she would have played them with me, but instead she was more interested in keeping me from enjoying them rather than enjoying them with me.
