You don't have to go to a marriage
counselor's files to see the beginnings
of deterioration in a relationship.

One of the first visible signs shows up
in simple interaction.

It is possible to be polite without
having a relationship, but it is not
possible to have a
relationship without being polite.

So, without getting into any big deal
about what might be behind impoliteness
within the most intimate of
relationships, let's just say that if
one has hopes for long term interaction
with another human being, good manners
matter.

Memory text:

Remember how much of courtship was in
play situations?
You ate out, watched movies, attended
events, participated in social
activities and events and had fun!

You laughed and talked and always wanted
to be together.

Then comes marriage, and "settling
down."  End of play time.

Somehow communications doesn't happen.
Time to "work" on the marriage.

We say, there's too much work in life
already.  We shouldn't have to work on
our marriage too.

If communication seems a problem, we
suggest going back to what started
communication in the first place - play.

If you must choose between household
work and play - go play!  See what
happens.
