Should Your Spouse Be Your Best Friend?
Feeling that your partner’s a pal may signal a healthy sense of security, or could be a red flag for “a lot of conflict avoidance.”
"Over
time, of course, this physical connection wanes. While many bemoan this
loss of titillation, Dr. Levine celebrates it. “It’s smart,” he said.
“If you’re going to be crazy about the other person all the time, how
are you going to raise kids? How are you going to be able to work?”
Instead
of complaining, we should view this new phase as an achievement: “O.K.,
now I have this person I’m attached to. I have the feeling of security.
That’s what allows me to be an individual again and self-actualize.”
It’s
this feeling of security, Dr. Levine says, that leads us to describe
our spouses as “friends.” But that language is not quite right, he says.
First, couples still need what he calls “maintenance sex,” because it
re-establishes physical closeness and renews attachment."
Thinking . . .
The relationships are different . . .

Why I Almost Fired My Doctor
Was I going to risk my longevity to avoid hurting my doctor’s feelings? I needed a physician I respected and trusted.To quote my mother in her last years:
"Doctors make you sick."
It is not that simple.
Doctors abilities are much more limited than people believe.
Honest evaluation and diagnosis is a place to start.
It is bad business practice.
Single payer would tend to fix that.

Cancer Humor
Cracking up may be a better option than breaking down, or so three recent books by young people with cancer suggest.I am glad there is death bed humor.

Harvey Weinstein, and the Lessons for Our Daughters and Sons
One reader recalls her own experiences of sexism in the workplace. Another wishes Mr. Weinstein’s victims had spoken up earlier, despite the risks.I am surprised at my reluctance to wholeheartedly agree.
The Harvey Weinsteins of the world must end their abuses.
They will not change without being forced.
I am loath to loose their other talents.
