A Healthy Marriage

Posted by Zuriana on May 14, 2009

Many of us want our marriages to be happy and healthy and last til death do us part.  One of the great ways to ensure that you have a long and healthy marriage is to take great care of you and your partner’s health.

Take time to get your annual physicals and exams.  Monthly exams are important as well.  I know that I need to do better with my monthly exams.   A proper diet and nutrition is equally important as well.

I was watching the Today Show yesterday and was particularly interested in “Farrah’s Story”.   “Farrah’s Story” is a documentary about Farrah Fawcett’s ongoing battle with cancer.  Although Farrah’s story is a sad story, it is an educational and insightful story for all of us.  Cancer is prevalent in our family.  Three of my husband’s and my family members have prostate cancer.  One family member has lung cancer.  Unfortunately one family member recently passed away from prostate cancer.  To learn more about a cancer patient’s struggle watch Farrah’s documentary this Friday at 9 p.m. on NBC.
