I get a lot of letters about kissing, something that falls a bit more in the physical realm of relationships than the emotional side (which is the side I feel more comfortable addressing). So, in a new feature I’m calling “Your Turn,” which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me:
“I am in my final semester of college, and last year, I had the chance to study abroad in a country that I’ve been fascinated by since I was 15.”
“My fiancé and I have been together for three years and we’re getting married this June. His first marriage, which was a disaster and only lasted six months”
My husband is deployed in the middle east, and he really wanted to get his daughter (my step-daughter) and me something from that area for Christmas. He asked me what I would like from there, and I told him anything pretty, and that I would like enough saris to be able to make a canopy for our bed.

“I’ve been on and off with Rick for about eleven months. He travels a lot, and over the summer, I moved an hour away from where he lives.”
I’m 30 and I’ve been dating this guy, “Sam,” who’s 32, for a little less then two months now and we’ve been on about six or seven dates in this time. I’m ready to settle down and get married, and even though it’s very early on, Sam has a lot of the qualities I’m attracted too: he is funny, successful, ambitious, and has a good relationship with his family and friends.
