Does it ever get any easier? I've been married three times and am the proud parent of two beautiful girls, ages 23 and 25. It's almost as though they consider me a joke for wanting companionship. They're running around and having fun -- why shouldn't I? The only difference is that I don't have the vigor I once had. -- Cathy S., 51, Liberty, South Carolina

Cathy, chances are, it won't get easier. None of us have the energy we once had.

you tell your daughters that they may be younger and have their whole lives ahead of them to marry and divorce and be miserable, but you are able to relax and know already that you live, you love, and you're letting loose whether they like it or not!
