3-Month Well-Marriage Check-up

We are happy to report that newlyweds Curt and Christine are progressing very nicely. In fact, not to boast or anything :), in all areas of marriage development they score well above their age level. Here is the report:

Compatibility: This proves to be an area of strength for the newlyweds as they continue to daily live with shared values. Being nice to people, making a difference, and putting in a good day of work keeps them going. They score in the 98th percentile for this.

Communication: Verbal and Non-verbal communication exponentially develops everyday. New terms of endearment for this month: "honey bunches of oats", "honey bunny", "hunkalicious", "husband", "wife". It's amazing how the vocabulary grows everyday. For non-verbal communication: passing gas without reservation, a wink here and there, a pat on the butt, and plenty of hugs demonstrates appreciation for each other. They score in the 65th percentile for this.

Diet and nutrition: They are still drinking 1% milk and flossing daily after the dentist's strict orders. Curt continues to amaze Christine with his delightful stir fry. And a first for Christine...enjoying pumpernickel bread! They score in the 50th percentile for this.

Physical growth: Unfortunately, not much to report for this. In fact, Curt appears to be shrinking with the early stages of his triathlon training. But Christine has noticed a slight increase in muscle mass and weight gain. Running more consistently, eating more, and not dealing with a wedding has allowed for all of this to occur. They score in the 10th percentile for this.

Some favorites for the newlyweds this month: American Idol, sleep, sipping tea, and Christine's sewing machine.

Areas of concern: an onset of separation anxiety partly due to Curt's new employment at Gear West which keeps him away on the wknds due to retail hours. But Christine's ability to adapt should kick in making this a non-issue.

It's been a great 3 months as kindness, love, and humor prevail!
