I had a funny thought this morning. We should all get married to each other. \:\) (a bit of a joke)

I was realizing that what we do here on this site is exactly what I missed in my marriage these last few years. Most newcomers show up hurt and begin by expressing that hurt. Then some poster jumps on and validates (I feel your pain or I understand), shows sympathy and compassion (sorry you are here) and shows support to the newcomer as they begin to find their way. WOW, I love it.

Before long the newcomer is posting the same thing to the next new person. Just by being here we learn to validate, care, and support others. Yet, we are careful to not tell them what to do, but instead offer support for whatever it is they decide for themselves. Well isn't that what a marriage should be?

So, you are all invited to dinner. \:\)
