		<description><![CDATA[

Dear Annie: I have been married to a dear man for more than 40 years,
but for much of that time, I have felt as though we are not really a
team.

My husband can be very kind in practical ways. He will happily run
errands, fix things around the ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 18 years, and I love
him dearly. But lately, there are nights when I fantasize less about

Dear Annie: I walked away from a 50-plus-year friendship. I've known
"Ralph," his wife and his kids since the late-1970s. We both worked
construction. We never had a deep friendship; most men from the boomer
generation don't. Ralph has a sense ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 12 years, and we
agree on most things. We like the same kind of vacations, have similar
