Separated at Birth


Dear Dr. Laura:

We have an uncanny number of similarities when it comes to tastes and hobbies.  I ride motorcycles, I make jewelry, I have a black belt in martial arts, and I nearly fell over when I saw a photo of your muscle car, because I have a black and red Challenger!  If you think you might have misplaced a daughter at some point, let me know!

I've been married for 13 years, and we have one child.  We're a military family, and my husband has gone to battle, been shot at, and landed jets on an aircraft carrier too many times to count, in order to make sure we're safe and provided for at home.  Recently he was in a "mood" (he does that occasionally), and I remembered a comment you'd made that day about using "feminine wiles" to get what we want out of our men.  I sat on the couch, patted the seat for him to come lay down next to me and put his head in my lap.  I started giving him a scalp massage (his absolute favorite thing).  After about 15 seconds, his mood brightened, he looked me square in the eye and said "you're officially the most intelligent woman in the universe."  It's just what he needed and one of the best compliments I've ever received.

Thank you for being a daily reminder to use my feminine charms, exercise compassion, create a happy home and make sure my husband is grateful every day that he married me.

Holly
