Dear Dr. Harley,
We have been married for six years and have two children. During the first year of marriage my wife and I both worked, but when our children arrived, my wife stayed at home to care fore them. Now she has gone back to work, and we spend much of our time together fighting over who’s going to take care of our children, cook the meals, wash and iron the clothes, clean the house, etc., etc. At this rate, our marriage will not survive Spring cleaning. Can you help us?

It will only reveal the worst side of your personality. 9. When are you going to stop butting into my affairs? I feel I can’t make a decision without someone looking over my shoulder. 10. When we are older we will be able to afford such little pleasures like trips abroad, weekend outings but now we have to economize. 11.
