Jed, that was one beautiful post, best one yet of your Love Tips. Inspires me to say a few words on the subject, too... So many moneymoneymoney forces lurking Out There can fast-forward the undermining leading to failure of marriages and family relationships in the times we live in. Media brainwash from irresponsible programming (some of which could only have been written by socio-psychopaths IMHO) and possibly purposeful misinformation can turn what should be a Happy Home into a Theatre Of The Unreal. It's awful to see a marriage that started out high hopes happy become a battle zone between the partners and/or the generations over some junk-o-matic that has no relevance whatsoever to the survival partnership, love, commitment, and sharing of all that makes a family, A Family. IMHO a Marriage is A Family if or if not there are children; isn't that the right way to think of it? Part of the backlash of success in our competitive society is that ole "The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side Of The Fence" and "Wanting More More More, Do Better Better Better". Always striving, always climbing, always closing one chapter to start another, moving on, always upgrading... that's what's pounded into our heads from kindergarten on. But the side effects are alienation, self-centerdness, forming an emotional armor, putting on a mask, and dissatisfaction with all As Is. Real Success only comes from Loving and Being Loved, along with The Liking. No One's always likeable. Good families (and true friends) help each other with the likability projects... Home Is A Place where Love Is Unconditional (while liking, well, maybe not always...LOL). You expressed so well the way it's best not to confuse the loving and the liking in a marriage (family), Jed...also your advice to appreciate what you have, and that to think the same is best. It's easier for folks to talk about it when Enough Love wants to make the other one happy first. Now That's What I Call A Family!!!! Jed, you say your brain is uncompartmentalized, but I don't think that applies to all of your thinking outside your IQ. From the looks of it you've done mighty well at partitioning ways of success in different areas of life without getting them all mixed up... all the while grabbing your grubs of lots of Good Clean Fun along the way. Yep, Jed, a marriage/life counsellor and a gentleman. Yore Frend, Joan Straight-Arrow Jed for Prez-0-Dent Been Through Alot Of Where Many Of Us Been!
