Sh *1 Problems Be Happening Now? Dear Carole. Do you think there are any more so-called “ladies” left? I’m talking about “lady” in the real old-fashioned sense of the ^ word. I want someone who hasn’t been around everywhere and someone who will give me her undivided attention. I’m a conservative, 32 year old guy who has decided to wait until I find a real “lady” before I get married. Do you know of any? • .C ’ Searching , V Dear Searching, \Yes, I know many ladies. Bat you and I may have a different opinion about what to expect from a “lady.” Many values are changing. Even the most caring, compassionate and conservativ ‘ ' " "" have some too. £ Are you willing to give the lady your undivided attention? Will you try to be sensitive to her*-*P needs? If you’re searching for someone to treat you like No. i-f^y you must treat her the sadne way *er you may And yourself searching forever. • Carole PJS. This is not a column for matchmaking. Sorry. Dear Carole, * We just got married two I months ago. I wasn’t expecting v s our marriage to be perfect, but I %sure wasn’t expecting to have problems so soon. My husband is tight and stingy. He won’t let me buy anything unless I dis- % cuss it with him first. He acts like I need his permission. I work just like he does so I don’t have to ask him anything. When ■*—VVi-i-' v > --"s - fe." I do try to discuss what 1 want to bay he always says no. He says I want too mack. This problem seems to be growing worse each day. What should we do? A Bride Dear Bride, J have enclosed information about sources of budget coun seling. Please contact those ^sources. However, a few other issues seem apparent. You and your husband need to open up your feelings to each other. He is your husband and you are his (adult) wife. He is not your father with you as his child. It is important for couples to discuss their spending decisions. But it is in appropriate for “permission” to be giveg by him to you or you to Wm for making spch decisions. If may be helpful If both of you set aside an agreed amount for spending personally that is ki^arate from the money used to pay your bills. The earlier that problem comes to the surface, the sooner those problems can be corrected. Other issues will occur during the course of your marriage. Try to work together to And a solution by taking each issue as it occurs. May you have a strong and happy marriage. • ":. Carole Editor’s Note: Carole B.
