Hey Girlfriend!

I can tell you why you should remain married. One word: Ferrari!

(Sorry.) Just can't get my mind off that beauty.....

Okay, here's my pitch, for what it's worth.

Don and I will be celebrating our 37th next week. I think we're lucky; we have a good marriage. More than anything, we're best friends; we have great respect for each other. We've been married to each other longer than we were single; neither of us could imagine life without the other.

It wasn't always that way. We had tough times; we came very close to separating on our 6th anniversary. It was the Women's Movement that caused such a change in our relationship. It was a good thing, believe me, but it was a difficult time, and we almost didn't make it. Thankfully, Don saw the error of his ways!

It really comes down to this: do you love him? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with him? Do you respect each other? Is he your best friend? Can you talk to each other and work things out between you, no matter what's happened? Can you forgive him?

I'm not the same person I was when he married me. But then, neither is he. We were such opposites that none of our friends thought we'd last. While it's been a bumpy road, it's also been an exciting one. Nothing boring about our married life! Well, maybe now -- but not back then!

Damn, am I rambling again?

Honey, if you love the guy, and if you're sure he loves you, whatever the problem, work it out.

Don't forget the Ferrari!

Bev
