What do you like about this subject?

I like that I have been married, divorced, and can speak from both sides of the fence.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Everything there is to know.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Marriages get sick in the same way that people get sick with cancer. When I talk to couples I can tell if their marriage has a stage 1, 2, 3, or 4 "cancer." Just like with cancer, if couples don't get their marital illness treated, their marriage is likely to become terminally ill and die -- so don't let that happen! Take your marriage to the doctor today!

Hi Y, BPD is both genetically and environmentally caused. I really believe the genetic piece to be very influential, so it is likely that her mother had this, too. As far as your ego goes, bury

Hi Eva, Congrats on your education. I have gone that route as well, and have significant debt. If I waited to marry until I pay it off I will certainly be dead first. You don't say how much debt

2009-11-19 In need of some advice:
