Waking Me Up


Dr. Laura:

There was a period in our life when my husband and I would continuously fight over the most ridiculous things.  We would go to bed mad, wake up and carry it over into the next day, and the next day, and before we knew it, a week would go by without us talking to each other.  One particular evening, we started the same cycle and I left the room.  I went straight for the shower, and he went to bed.

You were on the radio at night where we lived, and I turned on your program and heard you say "between now and dead, do you want to live your life" and then a few callers later, I heard "never stop being your husband's girlfriend."  I thought to myself that my husband was a good man and he chose me to be his wife.  I knew what I was doing was wrong, and I thought if I didn't stop, I would lose him.  So I shaved my legs, put on sexy, fragrant lotion, walked naked into our bedroom and woke him up with a nice surprise.  The next morning, he acknowledged the wonderful night we had and said that he hadn't been expecting that.  Because I made the decision to be his girlfriend on that particular night, it snowballed into us going back to the strong foundation of love we had when we first WERE boyfriend and girlfriend.  I will always have butterflied, admiration and respect for my man.

Thank you for letting "waking me up" so I could see all over again what I really already knew.
