Dr. Helen Needs Questions To Ask Me On The Air
Dr. Helen reminded me about our upcoming pre-Valentine's Day show, on which we'll be discussing relationship issues and problems, and any Valentine's Day stuff you want to bring up. (In case you're wondering, I'm not a big fan of the day, and refer to it as "our national day of insincerity," when people who treat each other like crap year round buy each other chocolates and flowers to make up for it.) Dr. Helen writes:
Amy, They put up a post for us to solicit questions for our show at PJM--I am going to link it so my readers can go there and ask questions. Here it is:http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/an-advice-goddess-valentine-on-pjtv/
If you have a question concerning your relationship (or lack of one) or any other pressing concern about love, sex or marriage, please leave it in the comments or if you want more privacy, email me ataskdrhelen@hotmail.com We will read some of them on the air and answer them during a segment.
As always, you can e-mail questions you'd like to get a written response from me on to adviceamy at a o l dot com. And feel free to e-mail me ones you send to the show to get a personal answer via e-mail. Of course, you will remain anonymous.
I don't think it's a day of insincerity, but it is a day of acknowledgment. There's a wonderful book called the Five Love Languages, or something like that, which reveals there are five different ways that each of us expect to be shown that we are loved. Although, my husband and I don't celebrate this day, I do realize that there are some that need to be reminded that they have to show through some positive action that they love them. For me, coming home right after work every single day and making love to me is enough, but for others, it's not. Some men, normally the ones who have non-communicative wives, need to reminded that they have to show their spouse "love". It's unfortunate, but true.

I think every day should be a "day of acknowledgment." Valentine's Day is a day of insincerity for those who treat each other like crap the rest of the year. People need to be shown that you love them -- assuming you do. And on a regular basis.

Here's a question I'd like to see you guys explore: Is America becoming more infantile?
We can see the progression of "the age of responsibility" increasing over the decades, and I personally think that too many adults expect a "do-over" for everything in their lives and the ability to call someone else to do the tough things.
