Dr. Laura:
My parents will celebrate their 38th wedding anniversary this year, and they love each other now more than ever. I'm single and 30 years old, and their marriage has had both a good and bad effect on me.
It's been good, because I've seen that love like theirs does exist in this world. It's been bad, because I've become very picky and won't settle for less than what I was raised around. I watched my parents go through very trying times, including financial hardships and dealing with cancer, yet I never heard my father say anything bad about my mom, or my mother talk ill of my dad. They never fought and didn't discuss their tough times in front of us kids. I think a lot of it had to do with their love and respect for each other, and their faith, which helped them when things were difficult. I still love watching them interact, and it literally brings tears to my eyes. I hope I will be able to find someone who will create that kind of bond with me.
