Email of the Day: Am I Affectionate Enough?

Written by Dr. Laura | 2/11/22 3:00 PM

My husband and I have been joyfully married for 38 years. I’m pretty sure we have the happiest marriage of anyone we know (except, maybe, our daughter and her husband, who are newlyweds, but show the makings of a wonderful long-haul team).

 

My daughter works with me, and we listen to your show. I credit your words for shaping both of our marriages. Recently, I heard you talking about women who withhold affection from their mates. With that thought in mind, I asked my husband that night, “Am I affectionate enough?” He gave me a long look and said, “If you were any more affectionate, I’d need to get a restraining order!”
