Let's take a moment to reflect on the show "Everyone Loves Raymond." In one episode, Debra notes the striking image of her in-laws, Marie and Frank, sitting silently at the lunch table. This scene prompts an important question: Is this portrayal of communication simply Hollywood, or does it reflect real life?

I thought I was the only one!” Frequently people say, “I’d go to a counselor except I don’t want people to know I have struggles.” Implying they are the only one with a struggle; see if you can find a person with a hurt, habit, or hang-up similar to yours in the following stories. I married a wonderful woman who I know God made just for me. But when she needed me most, when she was faced directly with a dilemma, I did not come to her rescue. I was not the man God made me to be for her. I feel overwhelming guilt.
