Dr. Laura,
I wanted to share some good things that are products of your teachings and influence over the last 20 years. I don't need you to tell me how to make every little decision, because you have shown me how to live - to prioritize, structure, define right and wrong. So many of your callers seem to miss this and they need the bread crumbs placed REALLY close together.
My husband called me just now, he's a Biomedical Field Engineer - smart and totally hot; He and I speak and text all day long. Later tonight we'll sit on the deck and have a glass of wine. He will talk about his day at length and he will listen to me tell him about mine. We'll chat about the calls we heard on the show today, the kids, the jazz band we are going to listen to tomorrow night with friends, and we will go to bed together at the same time.
He had a conference in Chicago last month. He checked with his Area Supervisor to see if I could drive up and stay with him, the boss said sure. So I did. I hung out, slept in, ordered room service, worked out, went swimming, binge watched some Netflix and did some writing while he was in meetings. Then, when he came back, we had a very good time at night. It was a wonderful break. The guys had asked where he'd been one night because they'd all gone out and he told them he brought his girlfriend to the conference! lol I am my husband's girlfriend after all.
He clarified after the shock wore off but we now love this story! We are so much in love. These days are renewed freedom as a couple, more privacy, more disposable income, and a much deeper appreciation for love and commitment.
Thank you for your help.
