Email of the Day: The List that Changed My Life

Written by Dr. Laura | 9/26/24 8:15 AM

You asked us to write in about a phone call we heard that changed our life. There have been many, but one that sticks out is from a woman who called in about picking the wrong men. After she gave background, you instructed her to take out a piece of paper and think about all the admirable men in her life. It could be a father, grandfather, uncle, teacher, etc. Next, you told her to write down all the qualities she admired about those men. When she began dating a new man, she needed to check her list to make sure he had those same qualities. And if he didn’t, she should move on to someone else.

 

I came home and completed this assignment on my own. When I started dating my husband, he checked all the boxes. He gave me even more qualities to write down!  

 

Thankfully, I don’t need that list anymore because we got married, had 3 ugly kids and I’ve been my husband’s girlfriend for the last 21 years!
