Editorial

In our family, this year has been filled with romance, a wedding and now an engagement. As a parent what tips about marriage can I give? This month's pages include some such advice.

Karen Holford, besides writing as a wife and parent and soon to be "mother of the bride," has degrees in the area of Family, the latest one is on Family Therapy. Karen has contributed all the pages except the heath and beauty. A website, she suggests, that is one of the best on this topic is www.2-in-2-1.co.uk "because it is the one place to come to shape, enrich, maintain or repair your marriage!"

Enjoy dipping into these pages and find out how to enrich your friendships and romantic relationships.

Pot-pourri

I will present you parts of myself.

Slowly;

If you are patient and tender,

I will open drawers that mostly stay closed,

And bring out places and people and things,

Sounds and smells,

Loves and frustrations,

Hopes and sadness that have grabbed off in chunks and found laying in my hands,

They have eaten their way into my memory,

Craved their way into my heart,

Altogether - you or I will never see them.

They are me.

If you regard them lightly,

deny that they are important,

or worse, judge them,

I will quietly, slowly begin to wrap them up in small pieces of velvet,

Like worn silver and gold jewellery,

Tuck them away in a small wooden chest of drawers,

and close.
