Dear Deanna!
A t w hat point do you give up on a
spouse that c a n ’t get up and m ake
things happen. I’ve sacrificed so m any
ot m y dream s and goals to support my
husband. I’ve had jo b offers in other
sta te s, b u sin e ss o p p o rtu n itie s and
more. I felt sorry for being a high achiever
so I alw ays stayed at a certain level so
he w ould shine. The years have gone hy
and h e ’s burned out but my opportu­
nities are still available. Is it a problem
it I go tor it? --A n o n ym o u s; S h revep o rt,
La.
Dear Anonymous:
If the shoe w ere on the other foot, he
w ould leave you in the dust and hope
to m eet you at the finish line. Y ou’re a
team and all rew ards should be shared
so it d o e sn 't m atter w ho has the title o f
superstar. If your husband h asn’t c o m ­
plained, this is a reflection o f your
feelings that are way o ff base. Unless
you w ant to be dusty looking in a m irror
o f failure, you have the answ er and
should take the leap and keep it moving.
Dear Deanna!
I ant confused. A lady at church told me
that it was not spiritual to spank achild.
She said that children could be d isci­
plined with love, exam ples and by tak ­
ing things aw ay. I challenged her to
show m e a biblical principle to support
her view s. O f course, this turned into a
heated argum ent especially w hen I

My husband and I have had agreem ents

plays video gam es in all his spare tim e
and w eekends. I have a problem be­
cause I w ant him to read, play with
friends and ride his bike. T his is our
only child and w e ’ve spoiled him and I
d o n 't know how to find m iddle ground
on this issue. His dad gives him his way
and I’m alw ays overruled. W hat do I

Making advance arrangements for your own funeral may not be something you want to think about But when you choose to
prearrange your final needs with us, every question, every option and every detail will be answered in one convenient location
And not only will your cost be protected against future price increases, we have plans available to save you even more
You argum ent is valid because your son
is on the path to being a slave to video
gam es. The end result will be a lazy
child with lim ited social skills. Take
drastic m easures by rem oving the gam e
and take control. You and your hus­
band should explore activities for your
son that ’ II stim ulate his m ind, body and
creativity. Reintroduce the gam es at a
stable point so this will be ju st another
activity and a special treat.
