- WHY DON'T YOU POST MY STUFF???
Many of you are feeling frustrated. You send articles, comments, notices and
I don't forward them to the E-newslist.  There is just too much stuff -
especially during Valentine's/Marriage Week.  Which is the good news.  There
is definitely growing interest in and commentary on marriage - more books,
shows, workshops, articles, etc.  Just no way to share it all.  Even as it
is there have been so many posts to the list that many mailboxes fill up and
then Major Domo automatically unsubscribes folks.  Marriage is just too hot.

- EXHIBIT AND ROOMMATE SHARING?

I've had inquiries from people that would like to share an exhibit table and
from people looking for roommates.  If anyone is interested in either, send
me an email w/ your info at diane at smartmarriages.com

- MATCH POINT? 
> Diane, I have been on your emailing list for about a month and enjoy the
> enthusiasm for good, or great, marriages. I am currently in a seemingly (by
> others) good marriage that has been ripped by infidelity. I was surprised when
> I saw your recommendation for the movie "Match Point", knowing that it deals
> with infidelity. Is there a reason for someone like me to actually watch that
> movie, other than it is well made?
>   
> As you can see I am a coordinator for BAN -- Beyond Affairs Network. I am
> thrilled that you have BAN sessions at your conference. Getting beyond an
> affair is incredibly time consuming, painful, but enlightening, each couple
> making their own way to get out of the jungle created by one of the spouses.
>  Anon
Yes, I can highly recommend it to you and your husband.  And, to BAN
chapters everywhere.  - diane

- GAIL SHEEHY: WHO'S AFRAID OF THE SEASONED WOMAN?
Diane, 
Here is Sheehy defending her perspective on "older woman".  You shared the
piece from the NY Times.  Maybe you should share her rebuttal. - M

Gail Sheehy: Who's Afraid of the Seasoned Woman?
Feb 21, 2006 

So now we know. Writing about sex and older women stirs up a hornet's nest
of fear, resentments, and jealousy. But I'm glad I did it, because it's
brought out of the closet the happy little secret of so many women over 50
-- they're having the time of their lives!

The reaction to my new book, Sex and the Seasoned Woman: Pursuing the
Passionate Life is dependent on three factors: Attitude, attitude, attitude.

My book is a Rorschach test which reveals the underlying personality of the
reader.  To read the full, very long and thought-provoking article, go to:
