Dear Abby: 'Marriage Encounter' opens doors and hearts

DEAR ABBY: Many letters in your column deal with marital problems that seem to be caused by lack of communication. We’d like to suggest an inexpensive, practical and loving way to learn to communicate. The experience is called “Marriage Encounter.” During the last 12 years, over a million couples have gone on a “weekend,” as it is called. It lasts from Friday through Sunday afternoon. A six- to eight-member husband and wife team that includes either a rabbi and his spouse, a minister and his spouse, or a priest, presents a series of talks on how to restore life, excitement, love and trust as well as honesty and openness to a marriage. Abby, the world offers instant divorce as a solution to the problems of communication and commitment. Marriage Encounter showed us a doorway to happiness that we thought was found only in fairy tales. JON AND MARY, MONTCLAIR, N.J. DEAR JON AND MARY: I have had sufficient reports in praise of Marriage Encounter to know that it’s well worth recommending. Age is not a factor. Couples who have been married 30 years and longer have benefited along with those in their 20s. It is not a cure for deeply troubled marriages it’s a revitalization for marriages that have become stale, unromantic or dull. For details, contact the church of your choice.

DEAR ABBY: In regard to the woman whose husband makes love with his socks on: When my husband and I were first married, he would frequently come home for lunch to satisfy his appetite (and mine), which, I confess, was not restricted exclusively to food. He had only an hour, so he never had time to take his socks off. It got to be a standing joke with us. Now 11 years and three children later, nothing has changed. Who has time to bother with socks? Besides, impromptu rendezvous are usually the best. SOCK IT TO ME IN PITTSBURGH DEAR SOCK: On the other hand (or foot), to some, anticipation is more enjoyable than realization. * * * DEAR ABBY: We’ve been going round and round about something at our house, and you’ve been elected to settle it. Our 17-year-old daughter is going with a very nice 18-year-old. Rick is polite and respectful, and not wild like some, but, Abby, his jeans are so tight it is downright indecent.! It is embarrassing for me to look at him. My husband agrees with me that something should be left to the imagination. We told our daughter to tell Rick to get a larger size, but she says there’s nothing wrong with tight jeans all the kids wear them that way. Do they? And are we square to be

offended? What should we do? TWO OLD SQUARES DEAR SQUARES: Tight jeans are in, but when nothing is left to the imagination, they are offensive. And if you’re square, I’m in all four of your corners. DEAR ABBY: I must respond to your letter from IN LOVE IN JERSEY, the woman who was in love with a homosexual. Your advice to “do yourself (and him) a favor and give up” probably cost them both a valuable friendship. Gay men make marvelous friends. They are warm, sincere, understanding and will do anything for a friend. Maybe she wasn’t so much in love with him as she valued his friendship. My best friend is gay (I am a woman), and we think the world of each other. Friends are hard to come by, and it shouldn’t matter whether they are male, female or gay. LOVES A GAY IN PORTLAND DEAR LOVES: IN LOVE IN JERSEY didn’t just “love” a gay; she was in love with him,” and wanted him to marry her. She asked if I thought he could change his sexual preference. I told her his chances for changing were zilch and advised her to give up. Granted, gays make wonderful friends, but they are not for marrying.
