You saw them walking around town today.
Everyone did, and they all smiled.
They had to be seventy- or even eighty-something. He had a cane over one elbow and his other was crooked for her. She held tight to him as they walked and talked and when she looked at him, years melted away. They were so in love, and you wondered how they sustained it. How did they manage to stay together through everything that happens over decades of marriage?
Wed for over 20 years, author Iris Krasnow thinks she knows. In her new book “The Secret Lives of Wives,” she explains.
When you’re a bride – particularly a first-time bride – nervous is normal. You love that guy you’re hitched to now, but what if marriage turns out to be a big mistake?
If you married today for the first time, you’d have had plenty of time to consider things. Modern newlyweds are older than those of yesteryear, they’re more educated, and more affluent. What’s more, over 85% of us will marry at some time in our lives.
So what keeps a couple together?
The first thing, says Krasnow, is to “work on yourself” and to keep part of your identity separate from that of your husband. Remember who you were before you were Mrs. or Mommy. Cultivate your own interests and friends, both male and female. Krasnow even advocates separate vacations.
The Importance of Meditation

I recently read an article about Max Planck, who won a Nobel Prize for his work with atoms. After years of study and research, Planck eventually said that he could only know one thing—that some invisible force holds together energy to create this minute solar system, and he must assume, based on his research, that some higher intelligence is behind this force.
Quantum physicists today will often tell us the same thing, sometimes in rather mind-twisting statements, but these ideas are not just the esoteric territory of the scientific fringe, as many scientists have believed that the world can be understood in terms of energy for some time. In 1632, Galileo published A Dialogue Concerning Two Chief World Systems, which included his principle of relativity, which states that the fundamental laws of physics are universal in all fixed situations. Others, such as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, continued to build on the work of Galileo, which eventually led to the discovery of Einstein’s famous theory of relativity in 1905. E=mc2 states that energy equals mass times the speed of light squared, and that energy and mass are transmutable.
Making Long-Distance Marriages Work—Five Tips to Help you Keep the Spark Alive

By Doug and Polly White
During much of our dating and the first eight years of our marriage, we had a long-distance relationship. That is, Doug’s work required that he be away from home several nights each week, while Polly’s work kept her in mostly in Richmond. While the old adage states that, “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” distance can actually put a lot of strain on a relationship. We came out of our “traveling phase” with a strong, loving relationship. Here are a few tips that helped us keep the fires burning across the miles.
1. Remember, business travel is not a vacation – It is easy for the one left at home to believe that living in a hotel, eating out and having maid service equals a grand vacation. This can be especially true on laundry day. However, anyone who has spent significant time traveling on company business would beg to differ. They would tell you
that eating by yourself in restaurants or entertaining business clients or associates is not as enjoyable as spending time around the family table. They would explain that having the whole bed to themselves is actually lonely. Maid service is nice, but most travelers would gladly put up with a ring in the tub and toothpaste on the sink if it meant they could kiss their spouse and kids goodnight. If you are the one at home, know that your traveling spouse would rather be with you than on the road. As much as advertisements try to make it glamorous, staying at a Holiday Inn Express will not make you feel like a star.
New Center for Orthodontics Provides Affordable Care

We love our kids and will do anything for them. And yet, the cost of raising a child is up nearly 40% from 10 years ago, according to the Department of Agriculture. For one-child single parent households, the Department reports that raising a child from ages 2-17 can cost from $9,710 to $11,440. As a single mother of two I feel the pressures of raising my children in these trying economic times. There are, however, some resources today that are designed to help parents like us feel some relief. As the director of graduate and adult studies at Seton Hill, I’ve become familiar with one such resource: the university’s Center for Orthodontics. My son is now one of their patients, and we are thrilled with the excellent service, friendly doctors and staff, and quality treatment that we have received.
The Center is associated with Seton Hill’s Orthodontics Program, which combines advanced instruction in biomedical and clinical sciences with teaching, research and clinical experiences to fully prepare residents to provide the best orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic care. Residents in the program – who are all licensed dentists working under the supervision of expert faculty orthodontists - serve the community by providing direct care to patients in the Center for Orthodontics. The Center provides affordable braces for patients of all ages. All Medical Assistance patients are welcome and the Center accepts all insurance plans.
