Merium,
I am 1200 miles away from my family and friends. I first had a stroke then breast cancer. I know my healing without God and my husband would not have been as fast or easy as it was without them both. He was with me every step of the way. My best friend, who lives in NM, called me every night, almost, and sent me gifts like flannel PJs and cuddley things, we live in OH and it was cold. Support is a key to having a healthy attitude and welness in my opinion. My 3 sons called often of course, but were not like my husband and best friend.

My husband and I are like the tv show, Mad About You. We play off each others words. We both have a very dry wit. It's been fun.

I have a question for you gals. My husband works in another state so most of our marriage is based on phone conversations. The problem is, he doesn't do good phone. It's short and sweet. Too short most of the time. So, how can I spice this up a bit. Now, Chatty will tell me...I know what she'll tell me but a lot of our phone calls are when he's at work so I can't do that!

And ideas out there?

Do you have a web cam? Or is that queer?

Support is key to having a healthy attitude and wellness. Great point June. I think this is true whether or not someone is sick.

Merium, consider yourself blessed, and even more so for being aware of his love and communicating it in here so others can feel the beauty within some couples.

Well Dianne does his office door have a lock on it? He is the boss after all and believe it or not I get plenty of calls from men at work, in the office, warehouse their semi truck trailer etc. Where theres a will, theres a way...he, he and imagine his surprise when you tell him to go lock his office door, mercy!!!

It sounds like fun but he would never do that. I could do it when he's home tho! I think he might be surprised and happy!

I have a friend in another state whose husband has brain cancer. They have always had such a wonderful sex life, but his medication has made it impossible for now. They were depressed and their once playful relationship had deteriorated to nothing but resentment and constant battles.

She came here to get away from his disease for a while. When she discussed the losses she felt I mentioned Chatty's business and she began calling home late at night. Soon she couldn't wait to be with her husband again.

Later she told me she and her husband had been having phone sex. She said it eased the tension of his disease and restored the love to their marriage.

Just goes to show, where there's love there's a way.

It is just amazing to me how God puts people from all walks of life together...to create an answer to one's prayers.

Praise God.

Even phone sex can have a place in this life especially when done for all the right reasons. Now this is one post that made me feel really happy, good for them! I hope things work out for them and cancer is defeated yet again.
