IS THE GRASS ALWAYS GREENER?

Sometimes it certainly looks that way.

Many times there is no cure for a marriage that has died…a marriage that is “flat-lined” and cannot be resuscitated. No therapist, rav, or marriage counselor has been able to help revive the relationship; In a marriage like that, you might have to “pull the plug”. A divorce is certainly a painful experience. For the husband. For the wife. For the children. For parents. Divorce should always be the last option. After everything else has been exhausted.

Sometimes you don’t give a damn if the neighbor’s lawn is greener than yours.

The only thing is……...…you’d like to have a nice lawn too!!

A divorce gives one a second chance to find a partner for life who is truly a “soul mate”. With the right partner one can do anything, be anything, say anything……..They simply connect!! The value of such a connection is priceless. They are 2 halves of one whole.

It’s wise to remember the following song, and then review what

you DO have; what you MIGHT HAVE, is something good that is

lost and can be found again.

I was tired of my lady,

We'd been together too long.

Like a worn-out recording,

of a favorite song.

So while she lay there sleeping,

I read the paper in bed,

And in the personal columns,

There was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas,

And getting caught in the rain.

If you're not into yoga,

If you have half a brain.

if you'd like making love at midnight,

in the dunes on the Cape,

Then I'm the love that you've looked for,

write to me and escape."

I didn't think about my lady,

I know that sounds kind of mean.

But me and my old lady,

have fallen into the same old dull routine.

So I wrote to the paper,

took out a personal ad.

And though I'm nobody's poet,

I thought it wasn't half bad.

"Yes I like Pina Coladas,

and getting caught in the rain.

I'm not much into health food,

I am into champagne.

I've got to meet you by tomorrow, noon,

and cut through all this red-tape.

At a bar called O'Malley's,

Where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes,

and she walked in the place.

I knew her smile in an instant,

I knew the curve of her face.

It was my own lovely lady,

and she said, "Oh it's you".

Then we laughed for a moment,

and I said, "I never knew.

That you like Pina Coladas,

getting caught in the rain.

And the feel of the ocean,

and the taste of champagne.

If you'd like making love at midnight,

In the dunes of the Cape.

You're the lady I've looked for,

Come with me and escape"..........
