It would be awesome if there was such a thing as a relationship doctor. You know, "Hey doc, I just had a fight with my husband and I'm feeling really low." No problem Marjorie, you don't even have to come in. I'll call the pharmacy and your prescription will be waiting for you."

But let's face it when it comes to relationships, it's much easier to not break something if you can help it. It's much better to treat each other with love, respect and consideration. The old saying that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is certainly relevant when it comes to relationships. But if there is a panacea to be found it would be in the "I'm sorry" drawer. It's absolutely amazing how sweet those two words are when spoken with sincerity and love. Sometimes it takes time has an added ingredient to work the magic of the sincere apology but it sure beats watching the person you love most having a sad day.

So the relationship doctor prescribes medicine that you give instead of take. Give love, give sweetness, give a little tenderness and watch the blues slip away.

Sometimes when our spouse hurts us, we can't understand why they treat us so harshly. It's those times that we really have to look past our own pain and see the suffering that they must be going through. Isn't it true, as crazy as it is, that we take out our grief on the person we most want to love?

Don't give up my friend. There is sunshine in the eyes of your lover.
