Your Questions About Love and Family: Ask Dr. Gayle

Many years ago, after the publication of my books 50/50 Marriage and 50/50 Parenting, Rodale Press asked me to write a question and answer column. That gave me the idea and I proposed it to a Northern California magazine, the Lotus Guide (www.lotusguide.com/articles/regular-contributors/dr-gayles-column). I organized the columns into three book topics: love and family—this book, the first in the series; physical and mental health; and work and money. My answers are drawn from years of teaching Sociology and Women’s Studies college classes, researching to write my dozen books, and experience as a mother, grandmother, workshop leader, and life coach.
