I have a subscription for LHJ, and I read the article this past weekend.

It is, indeed, excellent. " Can this marriage be saved? " is a regular

feature in the magazine, which is probably why it wasn't on the cover.

I liked it because, first of all, the couples in this feature are always

real couples, not just made-up ones. And second? The effect of a

special kid on a marriage can be pretty horrendous. We all know the

divorce rate for folks in our shoes is pretty astronomical. So it's

nice to see a major magazine take on the issue and demonstrate how a

couple can get past the stress and grief and remain a family.

I recommend it to anyone. It was, as I said, excellent and very informative.
