Dr. Laura,

I've listened to you since I was a little girl, hooked up to my Walkman in the middle of a strawberry field! You have been the key to my success in having the "Perfect" marriage.

One day as you were talking to a woman, who wasn't enjoying her marriage, you asked her if she was being sweet. You again repeated the question, "Are you being sweet?" That stuck to me like glue. Since that moment, anytime I feel upset or frustrated, I ask myself, "am I being sweet?" It turns me in the right direction as to where I need my attitude to be. 

The other day, I sent my husband a text message, a very sweet text message. That very same evening a friend of his came over and was discussing marriage problems that he and his wife were going through. His comment to me was, "I wish my wife were as sweet as you." It made my whole day. My husband was proud, and so was I. So thank you Dr. Laura, for keeping my marriage "Sweet" -- we have two little boys and have been married for 15 very sweet years. You're the best.
