I was listening yesterday to the caller who was married for 2 yrs to a medical student and was unhappy. My husband and I met riding the school bus in 8th grade. We will celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary next month. I always knew my husband had a goal of becoming a doctor, just like his dad. We dated through high school and college. We were married the weekend between college graduation and the start of medical school. I taught elementary school while my husband attended school. Of course, there were tough times but we persevered. We kept our sight on the completion of OUR goal and we celebrated the accomplishment.

Of course, his internship, residency and Cardiology fellowship followed. This was made easier by the fact that he joined the Navy. We got to travel to several states with the Navy. The kids had a great experience, too. I stayed home while the kids were young and they are now successful parents and spouses with children of their own.

Your reader is missing out on the joy of a goal reached together - with love.
