Quote From: butterbean
My husband and are "newlyweds" also and I cannot even imagine calling him names or having him treat me the way the people on today's show are treating one another. It is a second marriage for both of us and after 5 years together, we are grateful each day to have each other.
I wish that Dr. Phil would do a show about people who DO get along and have a wonderful partnership as an example as opposed to people who constantly abuse each other. Maybe his viewing audience would benefit more from seeing the RIGHT way to manage a respectful and loving relationship. We have problems like everyone else does but we find ways to handle them. It's no big secret that name-calling and griping don't work in any way shape or form.
I think that the guests on today's show enjoy conflct and need it in order to feel alive in some way. Personal attacks are not any way to live. I feel sorry for them. By the same token, I feel incredibly fortunate to have a marriage that works and works well. Our children feel safe and loved when they are around us and hopefully our relationship will serve as a gold standard of sorts for the relationships that they persue.
Dr. Phil, can you please do a show about the not so secret secrets of relationships that work?
Sincerely,
Christine Welton of Greenville North Carolina.
while i am sure these dramatic situations make for more interesting viewing, how about showing how hard people work at making good relationships work. I too have a wonderful husband who I would not trade for anything. My good friends are also in great marriages. i get tired of the drama trauma, childish behaviour and would love to see dr. phil reward people who have taken his advise and have great relationships.
