Chivalry Never Dies
By Dixie Andelin Forsyth To the ladies out there, have you ever seen a man working on an oil rig, covered from head to toe in tiny, glossy black dots of crude, and thought “I sure wish I could do what he’s doing”? What about a logger, or a guy who operates a jackhammer or […]

I have hundreds of messages from ladies attesting to the effectiveness of FW. My mother had stacks of success story letters tied together with string, some of which I have inherited.

While you usually choose your spouse, his extended family can sometimes be more than you bargained for.

Have you ever heard a relationship guru say something like this? The best marriages aren’t 50%-50%, they’re 100%-100%.
