Dear Ann Cannon • I don’t know if my marriage will survive the children’s teenage years. My husband and I do not agree on parenting strategies. Will we survive?
Dear Adrift • The answer is yes — that is, if you both want the marriage to survive in spite of your differences. Use your voice and ask your husband where he stands on this issue. Does he want an intact marriage, in spite of the pressures your teenagers are bringing to bear on your relationship? Then problem-solve together. What activities do you and your husband enjoy doing together?
