Meredith, you submitted that. It is beautifully written and so powerful.

I remember a minister preaching about couples hugging the side of their beds with hopes of never having to touch one another. Your poem reminded me of that sermon.

Smack me ladies, but I think this is sad. How many marriages do you think are like this? Too many? Do you think there are many women feeling this alone and secluded within their homes, marriages, and beds?
