The Fear Of Becoming A Man
06/20/2018

Hi Dr. Laura:

After dating for three years, my girlfriend and I had been shacking up.  I could never figure out why I didn't propose to her.  I thought I was too young, but that wasn't it.  I was afraid of becoming a husband and father because I didn't think I was good enough.

After listening to you, I realized that some aspects of my personality reminded me of the guys you tell girls not to marry, and I have since begun working to make myself a better man, including proposing to my girlfriend.

Hearing about your new online course made me and my new fiancée jump for joy.  It just seems like fate that you made the series right after our engagement.  We have both signed up for it.  

Thank you for everything you do, because I am convinced this generation is too soft for your great advice.  I plan on being the best husband I can be, and I know my fiancée will be the best wife and a great mother, all thanks to you.  I am very lucky to live in an era where you are still doling out advice, and I'll listen to you for as long as you want to keep going.

Matthew
