Since a high rate of divorce occurs in the rest of Western society (1/3-1/2 of all marriages end in divorce), we should expect similar figures in our profession. But there are many characteristics of our profession which can place a strain on a marriage. Whether the non-technician spouse leaves the marriage or the other way around (as in my case), these factors no doubt play a part. It is these things that would be helpful to include in a class or seminar - I wonder what others think? Bill Shull University of Redlands, Loma Linda University Loma Linda, CA (909) 796-4226 No matter what you do for a living, keeping a marriage together is tough in itself. We recently celebrated 9 years of marriage. I have no doubt about it and I would marry her all over again. As to my profession, she knows that there are times when I get home late. And especially during the Christmas rush, my bizziness becomes an issue. But I always find time for her. I work M-F, S & S off except for concert contracts. My marriage is not perfect, but we love each other, have faith in God, and realize that there is nothing we cannot work out. Divorce is not an option.
