I Treat Him Like a Man


Hello Dr. Laura:

You mentioned on your show that masculinity can be one of the most wonderful things in the world and I agree.  I treat my husband of four years like a man, and the return has been everything you have promised.

Recently, we took a "tubing" trip down a very fast, rocky, secluded river with steep embankments.  My tube "popped," and even though we tried, it wasn't feasible for us to share his tube.  In the chaos, we both lost our sandals.  Instead of taking me up on my offer to share the burden of walking the rest of the trip, he insisted I take HIS tube to the end.  He then walked two hours over jagged rocks in the ice cold river.  He refused to take a break and let me walk for a while.  When we finally got to a place where we could climb up on land, his feet were bloody and swollen, and he was shivering from head to toe.

My point to the story is this:  as I was floating along, I thought to myself, "These aren't exactly shark-infested waters, and there's no lemonade involved, but I think that Dr. Laura would approve!"
