No, certainly you wouldn’t invite New York Congressman Anthony Weiner to teach a Marriage and Family seminar. Yet, strangely enough, totally by accident his behavior–continuing to send lewd messages and photos over the Internet even after he had been married for a year–showed married couples how NOT to behave in their interactions with the opposite gender.
In this brief video (just over eight minutes), Sandra and I talk about 3 potential instances that could prompt a man to contact a woman he doesn’t know. First, we describe the wrong way–the impulsive, hormone-driven way Anthony Weiner might choose. Second, in each case we describe the appropriate professional way the man should interact with the lady.
Our conclusion: OK to be texting, but not sexting. OK to be friendly, but not flirting.
LISTENING TO EACH OTHER ENRICHED OUR MARRIAGE
Near the end of the interview, we say–as we have said before in every blog message–that ours has not been a storybook marriage. Yet the last few years became wonderful, and stayed that way. . .primarily because we started really listening to each other.
