This Week’s Featured TV Segment

“Marriage 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Host: Starr Calo-oy
Topic: Intimacy Rulebook
Broadcast Date: October 4, 2009

We have learned that “This is what I want” and “This is what I don’t like” and bring that into our relationships.  How you relate to your parents and how they relate to you has everything to do with the direction your marriage is going.   Your birth order also helps define your Rulebook.  If you are “firstborn” or “onlyborn”  you are more of a perfectionist, very witty, happy and know exactly what to do.   There are power mongers and people pleasers.   “Middle-child” is more accommodating and less aggressive.   “Last born” children are often coddled and babied, and like everything their own way.  When you marry, you each end-up blending your sometimes Very Different Rulebooks.  EDITING YOUR RULEBOOK:  1)Figure out your personal rulebook. 2)Figure out your spouse’s rulebook. 3)Get rid of unrealistic expectations. 4)Don’t allow a parent’s shortcomings. 5)Do something you wouldn’t do.
