- Late again!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
I have a great marriage, but there is one thing that is making me grayer by the day.
My husband is chronically late for everything by 15 minutes. The few arguments we’ve ever had have all been because of this issue.
Do you have any advice that might help?

Dear Fed Up:
Believe me, I don’t want to minimize your frustrations because they are real, and can snowball if not addressed in a reasonable manner. But, oh, if you only knew how many would gladly trade their marriage problems for yours – so I urge you to keep things in perspective.
My advice is that you and your husband sit down and reach an agreement that you’ll set your clocks 15 minutes ahead of the actual time.
You must treat this as the actual time, and make it a habit. No cheating!
Just think, it will give you two a chance to enjoy a little extra time together, without stress, wherever you’re headed.
Mrs. Figgins
