         When will people learn how to communicate?  Every couple today had a complete break down in how they communicate.  None of them were interested in what  the other had to say.  Only in what they had to respond to the other. How can you listen if your figuring out what you want to say.   I have a blended family and it really is hard.  Dr. Phil was dead on.  You have to be the support for your step-kids, they already have a base on which to stand.  As for the couple who fight about the computer, is it really worth destroying a marriage?  Jeremy, I too enjoy playing on the computer but sadly it cant keep you warm at night and it cant tell you that it loves you.  Games are just that, games.  Would you destroy your marriage over monopoly?  Reality is always better than fiction, and your wife needs a real husband.  Someone who puts her before a game because she's worth more than that.  Nicole,  if you want your husband to listen you have to change the way you approach things.  Maybe you can take an interest in what he's doing.  Learn to play his games and show him that you care about what he likes too.  There are lots of games you can play together.  And isn't he worth it.  Marriage is about companionship, how can you be companions if your walking down different paths.  If you really want your marriage to work it will. Dont give up hope.  Have fun with each other.
