 MARRIAGE
AS A WORK OF ART -- "I always recommend working as a couple," says Ruth Morehouse,
Ph.D., co-director of The Marriage & Family Center in Evergreen. "Even
if the issue is individual, like low self-esteem or insecurity, the context of
couples therapy is important. Your partner keeps you honest, provides an
accurate picture of you, and sees you taking an issue on. It promotes respect
between partners."

 SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR WIDOWS
-- Michelle
Davison was making a cup of tea when a police car pulled in front of her
Niwot, Colorado, house. The officer's face was lined with sorrow, so her first instinct was
to ask about her children. "No, it's your husband," was his reply.
Michelle joined the more than half a million women in the United States that year widowed
under the age of 45. If you've been widowed or you're the friend of a widow,
this is essential reading. Michelle, left, is photographed embracing her
daughter Rachel.
