		<description><![CDATA[Two great thrusts and one great convergence! I have been listening to Bruno Mars and his “Doo-Wops and Hooligans.” All the while, I am writing a manual for couples in conflict. That’s not the synergy though. I also came across Susan Heitler’s “The Power of Two: Secrets to a Strong and Loving Marriage” and realized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am the dirty fighter in our marriage. Carole grew up with the idea that to go to bed angry was about as sinful as it gets, whereas I figured that going to sleep in the midst of shared madness was one way to solve it – pretend it never happened. Carole would then wake [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This oft-repeated phrase in AA and Alanon is profound in its simplicity. The capacity to define oneself in spite of the approval or judgment of another is a sign of emotional maturity and a quality that makes life work better. “Someone else’s opinion of me is none of my business.” Say it to yourself.

		<description><![CDATA[I have been writing a book entitled &#8220;Couple&#8217;s Journey of a Lifetime: Mentoring for Pre-marriage, Re-marriage and Early Marriage&#8221; and I came across this funny YouTube clip on 1950s premarriage counselling. Watch it and you will discover the &#8220;Cupid&#8217;s Checklist,&#8221; a &#8220;Marriage Development Board&#8221; and advice on how to keep the &#8220;boing&#8221; in your marriage.

But how you feel about the expense of counselling depends a lot on what you get out of it. My fee will increase on September 1 to $165 per hour (Carole’s [...]]]></description>

Her husband complained about the embarrassment of leaving parties before everyone else, or having to make excuses for declining business events that he wanted to attend.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Masks of Melancholy&#8221; is the name of a book on depression written by a friend, Dr. John White, who was a psychiatrist and a church leader (he died several years ago).
