President Bush may ask for 1.5 Billion to help marriage. Where does Dubya keep finding all this cash? blink.gif
Here is the Christopher Plan to save Marriage.

Are you sure you are ready?
Have you tried the career route? Do you know what you want to do? Are you satisfied with your profession? Having a job that pays the bills gets OLD real fast. You'll hate waking up and dread your day.Trying to advance or go back to school is hard. means lots of free time is now gone. It's expensive to go back to school. Trying to organize a schedule to get it all in is almost impossible. Difficult to do with family.
Do you have money saved? A home to live in? Money problems ALWAYS lead to arguments. The stress gets to you both.
Are you ready for children? Your free time and cash are gone for at least the next 21 years. Not to mention anxiety heartattacks EVERYTIME they do something new on their own.
Have you traveled, have you done all the silly stupid stuff you get to do as a free youth drunk and stupid in Cabo, speed dating for points, 1000 mile road trips just cause. These are the things that come back as a midlife crisis and also cause unwarranted resentment towards your partner. It can easily become "their" fault you can't do things.
Wild Oats. Have they been sown? Are you ready to be with that one person forever? No others ever? Be honest now
Do you have enough in common with your other to survive a lifetime together after the passion fades. It doesn't last forever. I won't say it all goes away but It does change. Can you be best friends when the hormones fade.Sometimes you hear that when it does fade and the blood goes back to your brains you end up asking "Who are you?" OR "I guess I never really knew you" Things you once overlooked now cause a nervous tic.


There what do ya think. Print it out at Kinkos for a dime. Save a fortune. Tell ya what I'll let it be posted free on the net and they can print their own copy.
Give me the .5 Billion put the rest back and we'll call it a deal. You are getting a bargain. mrsparkle.gif

What do you think of MY plan? Do I not deserve the .5 billion? Got any additions to add. If considered worthy I shall of course allow you a portion of my Prize payable in yearly installments over the next 10 years. rolleyes.gif

I haven't read the book yet, but here is the Elle magazine interview of Helen Fisher about her new book Why we love: the nature and chemistry of romantic love. I was quite fascinated, being a medical student surprised to actually recognize the chemicals and body parts mentioned (yeah me, medical school is worth the money smile.gif ). But otherwise, in discussing this with some friends, we came up with our own plan to save marriage - I'll call it the Doctors Plan to Save Marriage (with small print stating none of us are yet doctors, and some dont intend to become doctors but social workers)...
Basically, its fall in love, get married, then as soon as that euphoria fades, pop a few pills - vasopressin and dopamine if your male and ocytoxin and dopamine if your female. Then, you can still get that feeling of being in love and won't have to experience the disorientation of needing to transition to a mature relationship... of course, there is the problem that the people on our pills will actually be in love with a pill (or maybe the doctor prescribing them) and that in fact, there is a high probability of addiction and possible dehydration in the case of the male pill... but this must be a small price to pay...
So, lets give me and my "think tank" a small cut of the money - say $.2 billion (b/c we aren't greedy - we are doing this to further mankind) and spend the rest on the magic pills
