Actualized?

About a month before we got married, Dave and I started Pre-Marital Counseling... I know I've talked a little bit about that - and about the personality test we took... But what I didn't tell you is that we didn't have time to finish the counseling before the wedding - so we settled in for a date of post-pre-marital counseling last Thursday.

We arrived, chatted with the counselor about the personality test for about ten minutes. He asked us how marriage was going - if we came up to any snags at all. We chatted about one particular issue that Dave and I "revisit" occasionally (I wouldn't call it arguing, per se, but revising is a good term) - then we talked about music, instruments, and where the counselor could go to get his mandolin fixed... And then... then the counselor said this: "Well, You guys seem like a great couple... If you find you have some issues in the future, please do not hesitate to give me a call - but I don't need to see you any more.

What?

I mean, I know we're a good couple - no, we really are a great couple - but if I'm not mistaken, but who gets booted from pre-marital counseling after two and a half sessions? Doesn't he realize that even without getting into Dave's history, that I am fraught with inner conflict, bossiness, and desperately need answers?

Or maybe... Just maybe we've got it all figured out. In that case, I'm writing a book, "Stumbling Along In The Perfect Marriage" with Kelly and Dave, self actualized heroes of relationships, communication, and all good things.

Eat your heart out, Dr. Phil!
