Dr. Laura:
I'm writing to thank you. I've been married to a wonderful man for almost 22 years, and we have two children. We are kind to each other, laugh through good and bad, and are each other's best friends.
Any time I feel cranky or overwhelmed with my job as a mom (a job I feel lucky to be able to do), I think of you. Instead of complaining to my husband, I can mentally turn it around and be thankful. In being thankful, I'm able to give even MORE to him. It may sound crazy to some of your listeners, but it's true. I think about how hard he works, how kind he is, and how good I have it. That makes me want to do even more for him.
There are nights when I'll say to him, "
You should thank Dr. Laura!" So, thank you for being that little voice in my head when I need it, or when mine is too loud. The saying shouldn't be "
happy wife, happy life." Instead, it should be "
Happy husband, happy wife, happy life."
Sincerely,
Maureen
