Letter From the Publisher Seek the Peace and Prosperity of the City in which I have placed you. Jeremiah 29:7 . יִ ְהיֶ ה לָ כֶ ם ָׁשלֹום,לֹומּה ָ כִּ י ִב ְׁש:יְ הוָ ה- ֶאל, וְ ִה ְת ַּפלְ לּו ַבעֲ ָדּה, ֲא ֶׁשר ִהגְ לֵ ִיתי ֶא ְתכֶ ם ָׁש ָּמה,שלֹום ָהעִ יר-ת ְׁ ז וְ ִד ְרׁשּו ֶא יִ ְר ְמיָ הּו
Recently Stephanie Beliles and I were having lunch at Whole Foods, which has become one of 4Memphis’s top distribution partners, when a lady by the name of Elizabeth White stopped at our table to thank us for the work that 4Memphis is doing through the Memphis Love Challenge. She then gave me one of the most surprising compliments of my short publishing career (we are now in our fourth year of publishing 4Memphis). She said how much she loved my monthly letters and added that she carries one that I wrote on forgiveness around with her in her purse. It was her suggestion that we republish the letter at the first of every year to help our readers forgive the difficulties of the past year in order to set the stage for the coming year. I am not sure we are ready to fully take her up on her suggestion, but given that January is our annual wedding issue, a letter on forgiveness is a great message to those who are about to get married, as well as to those who have been married for years. Young love, novels/movies on marriage focus on the excitement and desire of romantic love, while the true success of marriage is built on forgiveness.
Thanks Mrs. White for the compliment and for making the job of writing for January a little easier. I pray that your suggestion helps strength marriages throughout the Mid-South. The letter was written to challenge the citizens of Memphis to forgive what wrongs were done in the past and in doing so we can build a future together. The application is actually more important in marriage, because the offense to your spouse is often immediate and personal from the one you have trusted your life to. Forgiveness is absolutely essential to building a great marriage. Seek the Peace and Prosperity of Memphis, Jim Walker
Forgiveness: A Tool To Rewriting History Or The Future? I imagine we have all heard more than once someone making the statement: “I could never forgive that person.” Even if we have not said it, if we are truthful, we have thought it. Unfortunately many of us live our lives under the umbrella of anger because of some condition or memory of our past.
was to bully the two boys that didn’t look like them. Evans and his brother lived daily with emotional harassment and occasionally physical abuse by the kids of the street. The fun of the neighborhood pick up game was not theirs to enjoy; it was something to be feared as their childhood tormentors were all gathered in one place.
Last month we announced that 4Memphis was bringing David Mickey Evans the writer/director/voice of “The Sandlot” to AutoZone Park for a special screening of the film on the Jumbotron. The Sandlot’s positive messages about friendship, acceptance and childhood innocence, are now speaking to their second generation of fans. It was fun to watch fathers and mothers bring their children to AutoZone Park to share together this special showing of their beloved movie. The parents had watched this movie as children many times, but now for the first time they heard the voice of “The Sandlot” answer important questions i.e. why he wrote the movie and where the characters we all love came from. David Mickey Evans was quick to quote Mark Twain in explaining the characters, saying “None of these boys was any boy I knew, but all of these boys was every boy I knew.” In fact the boys of his childhood could not have been more opposite than our friends in “The Sandlot.”
The vicious dog in “The Sandlot,” Hercules, and the challenge to retrieve a ball from over the fence were real, but the conditions in which Evans’ brother had to retrieve the ball were much different. Evans’ brother was offered the long-awaited opportunity to be a part of the street baseball game, if only he would retrieve the ball that had been knocked over the fence. In the end, Evans had to carry his brother home, having been badly bitten on the leg by Hercules as he attempted to get the ball.
David Mickey Evans shared with the crowd his childhood, growing up in a poor, multicultural section of Los Angeles. It was a neighborhood where baseball, football and basketball were played seasonally by the kids on the street. The other game these neighborhood boys played
Evans childhood and early adult life were filled with anger and hatred for the boys of his neighborhood. He was driven to be successful by his desire to seek revenge on the boys of his youth. Like many of us, Evans felt if he made enough money or had enough power he could somehow punish the boys of his neighborhood, even if that punishment was to only show them how wrong they had been for not being his friend. His anger and drive to be successful did not serve him well as an adult. He was only allowing the abuse that had destroyed his childhood to destroy his current life was well. In his late twenties, Evans surrendered his anger and decided that he had to forgive the boys of his youth. He
decided to go back in time and rewrite his childhood and in doing so he would forgive those who had hurt him and his brother. “The Sandlot” was born. He wrote the kids as friends and heroes, playing together and overcoming a great obstacle. He knows nothing of what happened to the boys of his youth. They didn’t ask for forgiveness. They never sought his friendship. However, in Evans’ process of forgiveness, he allowed these bullies to become his friends, and this personal story he wrote for himself has become one the most loved and watched movies of all time. He and I discussed in detail his personal journey, and he would tell you that although he would not wish his childhood on anyone, if he had the actual ability to go back in time to change it, he would not. It made him who he is and allowed him to give the world “The Sandlot.” Much like the Old Testament’s character of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers, Evans is able to declare, “What they meant for evil, God has used for good.” Forgiveness, the key to Evans’ and Joseph’s success is also the key to success for the citizens of Memphis. Forgiveness didn’t really change Evans’ past, it changed the way he dealt with the present, and that changed his future. The citizens of Memphis shouldn’t forget the past, but instead should work to forgive the wrongs of the past. Forgiveness will allow us to live in the present and build for the future. Jim Walker

MORE THAN JUST A PARTY
I
By Stephanie Beliles, photos curtesy of the Children’s Museum of Memphis
n Memphis, the Children’s Museum of Memphis (affectionately known as CMOM), is an outstanding and nationallyaccredited children’s museum first, and it is a huge party at a close second. Cirque du CMOM is one of the museum’s primary sources of fundraising. It enlists the volunteer power of some of the more affluent families and business leaders in our community. The guest list reads like a local who’s who, and the themes and accoutrements that accompany Cirque du CMOM gain notoriety for their extravagance, entertainment value and ability to pack out the entire museum.
It goes without saying that the tickets are extremely coveted, and every year leads to another highly-anticipated party. However, it is important to recognize that CMOM is not just a party: strip away the feathers, glitterati and live performances and see that Cirque du CMOM is a party with a cause.
Children are impressionable. There have been countless studies conducted on young children and their propensity to learn through hands-on activity and observation. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that a children’s museum offers countless opportunities for a child to learn and grow. The Children’s Museum of Memphis was started nearly 25 years ago by a group of local mothers in the back of a car. The mothers ran light programing for children in this grassroots manner until they found and leased a location. Former Memphis City Mayor and current Children’s Museum CEO Richard Hackett assisted in getting their still current lease at what was formerly the National Guard Armory complex on Central Avenue. Now, after millions of dollars in fundraising, massive grounds expansion and exponentially growing attendance, CMOM has started another campaign with their partners at Iberia Bank to enable every child the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the Children’s Museum of Memphis. One cannot fully appreciate the excitement that
36 / 4Memphis
pulses within the walls of the Children’s Museum of Memphis. The museum is a wild winding adventure for ages one to one hundred, starting with the FedEx Boeing 727. Children can play on a real flight (and crash) simulator, explore the cockpit of a FedEx plane, and even deliver (imaginary) packages all over the globe. They learn about culture and distance when their packages jet off to places like Paris: they follow the flight path and are then greeted by a Parisian young lady. The package tracker has been monitoring these imaginary packages, and CMOM kids have sent over 2 million packages since the exhibit opened. Leaving the FedEx exhibit, a child is ushered into the Mississippi River exhibit, where they learn about the significance of the river to our community, as well as light physics about water, weather and climate. No matter the age, no one can resist splashing around this model of the Mighty Mississippi, or at least until they are drawn to the real-life Kroger exhibit. A child can grab real Kroger products, proceed to the register, do simple math to work on totals and
even get checked out using the real scanner and computer software the Kroger stores use. There is a banking exhibit down the path that allows children to write a fake check, balance a checkbook, and even shoot a deposit through a teller pipe, just like mommy or daddy at the bank drive through! The exhibit reinforces the ideas of strategic saving and spending, and it even keeps a broadcasted a realtime statistics on debts at a local and national level. International Paper sponsors a beautiful exhibit on forest wildlife and conservation. It even has a paper airplane building area and a paper plane launcher! Around the corner lies an earthquake simulator as well as a tornado simulator, and both teach the science behind the natural phenomenon as well as the most effective way to safeguard oneself when the weather requires. Is your child interested in being a television personality? Have him take the stage on CMOM-TV: a real greenroom with a camera that projects your image on the television across the room! If your child is better suited to a more hands-on career, CMOM
offers a dentist office experience exhibit. There is a mannequin in a chair with his mouth opened and ready for your child to explore. The notions of brushing, flossing and nutrition are reinforced in this exhibit, all while the child is still having fun. In fact, a young lady and her fiancé revisited the dental exhibit for engagement photos: the bride-tobe is in dental care and credits her career choice and enthusiasm for oral care to this very exhibit she visited as a child! Around the corner is the AutoZone exhibit that has a real car ready to be explored. There is an area where children can go under the hood of a car and work out engine problems, learn about pumping gas, and understand tire maintenance. During warmer weather, families can take it outside to play in the Splash Park, new park area, and even check out the chicken coop and hen house! There are dozens of other areas for kids to climb, explore and learn, as well as get the physical activity they all require. At its core, the Children’s Museum of Memphis incorporates play and hands-on learning into a positive impact on the public. They feel that the notion of inclusiveness is central to bettering the community and its children; therefore, every child and child’s family is given the opportunity to afford
membership. The “Yes, EVERY Child” addresses the problem of families that want a membership but cannot afford it. Shortly after CMOM opened, it became apparent that there were a significant number of children in the city and surrounding areas who wished to enjoy the offerings of the museum but whose families could not afford the admission. The Board of Trustees formulated a policy that all children would be able to utilize CMOM regardless of ability to pay. Dr. Marilyn Robinson headed up the effort to get a program in place that would allow giving free admission to those with economic need. While promoting the program in the community, she found herself answering the question, “You’re going to be able to serve every child?” Her response is echoed in the program’s name: “Yes, EVERY Child!” The museum realized that by operating without any government funding, they would have to find ways to subsidize free admission for those who needed it. Each year since that time, CMOM continues to solicit gifts from individuals and corporations to give to the “Yes, EVERY Child!” fund. Since the program was implemented 23 years ago, over 200,000 children and families have been able to visit the museum for free! Iberia Bank has signed on to contribute to the “Yes,
EVERY Child” campaign and has even agreed to match all donations. Despite the overwhelming generosity, the fund operates in the red every year – the demand for assistance far outweighs donations. Children are products of their environment, and it is with that knowledge that Children’s Museum of Memphis recognizes that children from lowerincome families or struggling socioeconomic areas need the reinforcement of a children’s museum. It is a place to learn not only from touching and seeing exhibits, but also from learning to cooperate with peers and observe rules and manners. It also encourages valuable parent and child time, and that is something hardworking families need. In fact, the outside playground enforces a “no cell phone” rule in order to foster the philosophy that staying connected to your child- not your phoneis vital to their development. By simply buying a membership to CMOM, you are enabling another otherwise unable family to take advantage of the Children Museum of Memphis’ incredible resources. If you do not have a child, you can certainly party on the children’s behalf: the Cirque du CMOM is on February 7th this year, and sponsorships at all levels are available. The theme is “Pop, Rock, and Roll,” and it is a guaranteed great time. For more information, visit CMOM.com.

They have a team of doctors fully dedicated to treating simple and complex pediatric orthopaedic problems. Campbell Clinic is great with kids – from infants to teenagers – and knows how to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions. In fact, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital chose Campbell Clinic as their orthopaedic partner. Today, my little ballerina is feeling better, and back in dance class.

Home Grown Banquet Young Life Memphis Photograhy by Mark O. Ramirez The Home Grown Banquet is the annual fundraiser for Young Life Memphis hosted by Hope Church, and an overflow crowd of supporters gathered for the dinner banquet. This year’s banquet was in honor of Brad Baker who is retiring from the local ministry after 43 years. Brad and his late wife Marcia impacted tens of thousands of young people showing them God’s love for them and our community. Barry Jenkins spoke representing the many who had first been led by Brad as their Young Life Leader, to then become part of Brad’s Young Life volunteer staff serving throughout the club system. Alumi and friends of Young Life sent hundreds of notes of encouragement and remembrance that were presented to Brad at the dinner as a token of appreciation for his incredible impact through his years of service.

Bridal Beauty It’s All About Confidence By Katie Breyer
The honest, and for some, terrifying, truth of weddings is that they are a day of bridal judgment. Guests anticipate studying the many aspects of her look – makeup, hair, dress – as all eyes are unbreakably upon her. While preparing for all of these facets should be exciting, it’s also anxiety-laden as brides’ physical insecurities often reach an all-time high. It’s uncommon to hear of a single woman not having at least one area of her appearance that discourages her. However, there are more treatments than ever to reverse these cumbersome burdens…and consecutively increase self-esteem so one can feel rightfully ravishing. The number of women opting for procedures that fall within the category of plastic surgery has continued to steadily incline year after year. With that said, let us make this clear: One should never feel pressure to consider plastic surgery, and should solely do it for personal reasons. However, if you have always wanted to look into treating a “problem area” and have yet to act on it, a wedding in the future may be the perfect time to receive a consultation.
Here to provide insight is Dr. Neumon Goshorn, who owns his own Memphis-based practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery and is no stranger to consulting with brides about their insecurities (95 percent of his clients are females). Although he has more than 25 years of experience, Dr. Goshorn is both honest and modest when it comes to something as serious as surgery, which is much appreciated by his hundreds of happy clients. He jokes that he is actually in the “self-esteem business”, helping women to “never be self-conscious of what bugs them again”.
What do you think are some misconceptions about plastic surgery? First, nothing is a “quick fix”. One has to allow the body ample time to heal, and healing time is different for each type of surgery. Also, being realistic of what we can do, and remembering that there is always risk associated. Lastly, a misconception is that the results will look too over-the-top, especially when it comes to breast augmentation. The human eye loves to see symmetry – this is what breast augmentation achieves; it’s not all about making a large size. What are the most popular treatments for brides? Breast augmentation is the most popular, followed by liposuction. This is typically because the bride wants to either fill out her wedding dress or make it lay flatter. I also see brides for mole removal and scar revision, which can be done in the office. What are some important things to consider before getting surgery done? To avoid later stress, add the costs within your overall wedding budget when you set it. Next, it’s VERY important to find a board certified plastic surgeon - you want someone who has done HUNDREDS of procedures and has the credentials to back that. Maintenance is another aspect to consider. I keep reading material in my office about lifestyle tips and changes that will help clients prep and then maintain their results, particularly with liposuction. I don’t like to operate on a patient unless they’ve educated themselves and at least tried to do their part. What advice on “looking your best” would you offer to mothers of the bride? Face is number one. While facelifts are the most common procedures mothers desire, that doesn’t mean they have to get one. Often times I’ll suggest a less expensive treatment like Botox or filler (such as Juvederm) and a medical skin care regimen, and in as little as one to six months their skin will be glowing for the wedding. How soon before a wedding should you schedule treatments? For breast augmentation and liposuction, a patient typically sees results after three months. So, I advise to schedule the treatment(s) three to six months before the wedding. If you’d like to learn more, Dr. Neumon Goshorn and his team are available at Eden Spa for consultation appointments. As Dr. Goshorn has said, “You’ve always been a natural beauty, sometimes nature just needs a little help.”

Something New
Molly Farrell of Maggie Louise Gushes on Gowns & Her Big Day By Stephanie Beliles, Photos courtesy of Molly Farrell
Molly Farrell, owner of Maggie Louise Bridal Boutique, reveres every wedding she is involved with as if it were her own. She began her bridal career as a photographer assistant with Allison Rodgers Photography. Molly found herself enjoying acting more as the wedding day assistant, and she was most captivated by the excitement that filled the room as she bustled a bride’s gown for her. Molly as a photographer has an eye for detail. Molly as a wedding day enthusiast has emotional ties to the enjoyment of the day. Now, as a bridal boutique owner (and newlywed!), Molly also has the ability to create a holistic beautiful experience for every bride that walks through her door. Molly noticed that many of the brides she was photographing had suffered through the chaos of traveling for their dream gown. Going out of town while a bride is planning a wedding is taxing; people underestimate the anxiety that comes with specifics in planning a big day, and traveling in the midst of it (twice: picking a gown then fitting) can be overwhelming. Molly saw that she could give women an elegant and personal experience without traveling. “I really wanted to give the high-end boutique experience to women in Memphis.” Molly also noted specific gown lines that she would want to have available to her. “I wanted something modern that pushed the norm but retained that bridal feel.” She took advantage of this information and opened Maggie Louise Bridal Boutique in order to give every bride a different and more personalized experience. Maggie Louise offers gowns to fit everyone’s personal style. And while no bride is the same, Molly has noticed several trends in gown design this season. “One of the biggest trends in the South has always been lace, and it is here to stay,” she notes. Some dresses now incorporate the use of illusion lace, meaning the netting is so delicate that it looks as if the lace pattern was applied directly to the bride, and it creates a lovely effect. If lace does not entice the bride, there are a few other trends that are hot on the runways now. Molly notes that designers are mixing fabrics like tulle and lace to create an interesting and layered look to wedding dresses. Gowns designed in non-traditional colors are a huge trend; shades of blush, toffee and silver can even prove more flattering than shades of white and ivory. For the more practical (or party-savvy) bride, Molly loves the detachable skirts on longer wedding gowns this season. It allows for the dramatic look at the ceremony and then getting removed for freer legs for dancing at the reception. 64 / 4Memphis
Being recently married makes Molly more sympathetic to brides that come into her store. “I had always run my business based on the ‘golden rule’: treat others as you want to be treated. But now I can infuse some of my firsthand wisdom into their experience.” She also has more sympathy for the brides: before, Molly discouraged being frantic and anxious while planning a wedding. Now, Molly can empathize with fretting and can offer real-life solutions and words of wisdom. Her goal is to make every bride in her store to feel as calm and confident as she can, despite the price point she has designated for the gown. And while her dresses are designer, Molly has gowns to fit a wide range of budgets. So what does a wedding boutique owner wear on her big day? She wears the dress of her dreams. Literally. Molly had been fantasizing about her own gown for years, and even put a pencil and sketch pad to it. “I wanted to rock the boat with my gown,” smirks Molly. “I wanted something with a simple silhouette and a textured bottom. Something more glamourous and modern than traditional.” She designed a strapless dress with a simple yet modern sleek silhouette and sweetheart neckline. She loves the element of surprise given by adding a textured bottom with different fabrics to a sleeker gown. Molly plucked her dream dress right off of the runway at a Ravini show she was attending. “It was my exact dress, right there materialized on the runway, and it was perfect because Ravini is a designer I carry in my boutique. It was important to me that I was a Maggie Louise bride.” Molly definitely bucked tradition: her fiancé was sitting next to her at that Ravini show and witnessed her reaction to her dream dress, but him seeing her dress before their wedding was no deal breaker for her. “I love how special the secret and surprise of waiting to reveal the gown the day of the wedding is to some people, but I am not superstitious or traditional,” noted Molly. Indeed, Molly spun the tradition on its head: her fiancé Eric designed his tux and unveiled his look the day of their wedding. They kept the non-traditional theme going by not sweating details such as deciding to not have programs and even simplifying the venue (they opted to have both their ceremony and reception at their favorite restaurant, Acre.) They kept the day about them, their guests, and what was important to them instead of what is important to tradition. The outcome was an extremely personal and heartfelt day. You can visit Maggie Louise at 3670 Suite #111 on Houston Levee in Collierville and let the professionals help you realize you dream for your day, too.

Traveling these days usually includes our smartphone GPS leading the way, and sometimes that GPS comes in handy for traveling around our hometown too. Following the GPS along Summer Avenue until the switch to Highway 70, past the familiar driver’s testing station, the “Bartlett City Limits” sign, and to the prompt for a turn onto Broadway Road to Cedar Hall, I arrived at my destination for the day.

listed on the National Register, and both were active in numerous civic organizations and governmental positions that have significantly impacted the community of Bartlett.
The expansive front lawn and beautiful mature trees allow just a glimpse of the manor house, but as I turn off Broadway and into the drive, the view of Cedar Hall is nothing short of stunning. This view is relatively unchanged since before the Civil War, and even though it is in our midst and moments from major conveniences with hustle and bustle, the trip to Cedar Hall is a world away. Cedar Hall was built in 1846, and has been preserved, renovated, and lovingly tended to for over 150 years. In 2012, Denise Suthoff acquired Cedar Hall and set about transitioning the home and grounds into an event venue and bed & breakfast inn. The character of the home remains intact, and the charm begins on the wide front porch. Flanking the entrance are huge columns of painted brick that were crafted onsite when the home was built. A plaque on the porch notes that it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and Cedar Hall boasts an elegance of another era but with modern comforts. Whether for a small gathering or an overnight getaway, Denise and her team have created a perfect destination venue. The first floor features a den with rich, hand-carved paneling, plush chairs and a large-screen television for relaxing. The library is designed as a meeting space; the formal dining room is furnished with a period sideboard, and adjacent to the dining room the kitchen has been completely renovated for commercial use. A grandiose curved stairway in the foyer leads to the second floor and bedroom suites for guests and wedding parties. The Bridal Suite is named The Rainey Room for the last private owners of Cedar Hall, Jay and Jeanette Rainey. Displayed in the Bridal Suite is Jeanette’s wedding gown and bridal portrait, a lovely tribute to the long-time Bartlett residents. The Raineys were instrumental in Cedar Hall being 82 / 4Memphis
The upstairs suites are splendidly decorated. Unlike many B&Bs in antebellum homes, Cedar Hall’s suites each have an adjoining private bath. In addition to the Raineys, Denise pays homage to her own mother and father in naming two rooms in their honor, as well as to the original owner of the home, Dr. Samuel Bond. While the “bed” portion of Cedar Hall is fabulous in style and comfort, the “breakfast” portion is unmatched. Cedar Hall Food Director and Chef, Edie Adams creates meals that are scrumptious to wake up to. Some of the breakfast fare might include an open-face BLT with a balsamic reduction sauce, homemade biscuits with preserves, or a freshly baked quiche. Or all three! An herb garden was installed last summer, and for the summer of 2015 the garden will be expanded to include heirloom vegetables. To accommodate larger weddings and events, The Stables at Cedar Hall was built during the renovation. It is tucked in the back of the property, and perfectly complements the home and grounds. Located down the brick pathway from the back of the house, the architecture and materials are a blend of rustic and refined. Large, rolling barn-style doors open to reveal a space that is expansive while remaining cozy. By using dark wooden beams, an interior brick wall, and lighting from chandeliers and sconces, The Stables feels intimate but has the capacity for several hundred guests. A designer by trade, it seems that no detail was overlooked when Denise was building The Stables. A second-story loft area overlooks the space below and is ideal for the groom and groomsmen on the big day. Leather furniture and a big-screen television create the perfect “man cave” for pre-wedding prep. Another large commercial kitchen is also located in The Stables, as is a hand-crafted wooden bar. In addition to the event space, the details that create the ambiance in The Stables are included in the rental fee. Different styles of table decor, such as vases and linens, plus even the tables and chairs. The perfectly appointed details are not only inside but throughout the property of The Stables and Cedar Hall. A colonnade was incorporated for picturesque wedding ceremonies. A parking lot was also added on the grounds so it is simple to park and access the venue. But a parking lot can be unsightly, so a brick wall was constructed using repurposed bricks to match the originals and block the view of the cars. English gardens and fountains dot the property, and Chef Edie will prepare a picnic basket for guests wanting to dine al fresco. The classic antebellum mansion and venue that is Cedar Hall promises a memorable trip, even if the GPS is not really necessary. Cedar Hall is hosting a Bridal Show and Open House on Sunday, March 1st, and brides-to-be will enjoy an afternoon of speakers, tastings, and inspiration. For Bridal Show tickets, contact Micah Le, Cedar Hall General Manager, at 901-377-4099; for more information on Cedar Hall and to schedule a visit, cedarhall.com.

Get Married & Stay Married
Tips from Relationship Psychologist Dr. John Leite, PhD By Stephanie Beliles, Photo Courtesy of Dr. John Leite
Boy and girl meet, and the rest of the world seems to melt away. Boy and girl get engaged and plan a wedding, and it is the most beautiful day of their lives. What do boy and girl do when the lights come up, the honeymoon ends, and reality sets in? Dr. John Leite specializes in relationship psychology, and according to him, “There are grounds for divorce three weeks into a marriage.” Not to deter from the warmth and fuzziness of new love, 4Memphis has enlisted Dr. Leite to assist in understanding the grittier aspects of staying married by recognizing four core considerations.
1: Understand your history. “History” in this statement is not referring to a personal background. Knowing human behavioral and biological history is important in understanding reaction. According to Dr. Leite, men and women are programed to react instinctively to certain situations, and the genders rarely react the same. According to research, for example, men see a problem and try to fix it. Women, on the other hand, take an empathetic approach to problems and stressors instead of a problem-solving approach. “It is important for couples to realize that humans are still animals with evolved psychological mechanisms,” he notes. The brain releases chemicals when a person feels threatened or defensive, and that can be traced back to our cavedwelling ancestors who had very real day-to-day physical threats. How does this translate into a marital relationship? “A person’s most natural reaction is selfpreservation. When they feel threatened by a spouse, they react defensively and then note the negative reaction to that situation.” It is then human nature to avoid situations or environments where they feel threatened.
2: Take an emotional pulse check. “I would love for a couple to come in with a relationship or marital problem. As it happens, by the time they come to me, they are bringing years of failed solutions and feelings of hopelessness.” The human brain is prone to create patterns, and when you are deep into a pattern that is failing you in your endeavors to have a successful relationship, deprogramming yourself of those patterns can take a very long time. Taking the time to discuss what is making you unhappy and vice versa may seem uncomfortable at first, but the regular discussion keeps the lines of communication open and allows people to more clearly understand their partner’s needs. “People never come in with one big issue. It is almost always a problem of hundreds of smaller cuts. Healing hundreds of smaller gashes is more difficult to repair than one big cut.” His analogy is the woman who wants her husband to push from the bottom of a toothpaste tube rather than the middle. The first time he squeezes from the middle and not the bottom, she admits to him that she prefers him to squeeze from the bottom. The second time he does it, she reminds him of her preferences. This song and dance can continue for years, and it is usually labeled as “nagging.” However, the message from a partner on his or her needs, no matter how neurotic they can be perceived, should be recognized and appreciated. It is central to a marriage that both parties care about each other’s feelings. If you do not care about your partner’s feelings, you do not care about your partnership or marriage.
3: Remember: “Fight or Flight for Him” and “Tend & Befriend for Her.” It is a huge misconception that all people should subscribe to idea that all humans react by fight or flight. Dr. Leite notes that newer research on human reaction to stressors considers women in their tests, whereas previous research only regarded men. “Back in the 60s when human behavior was really being studied, women were fighting for gender equality, so research was blanketed to include all humans and not specifically one gender,” he says. It behooves the modern woman to now appreciate the differences in men and women, especially in their reactions. Men tend to have a systemizing brain; the addition of testosterone is responsible for the “fight or flight,” lower-empathy reactions. Conversely, women have a hormonal instinct to protect and be defensive, and that also gives them highly empathetic and nurturing social tendencies. It is critical to a successful marriage that the partners remain mindful of these ingrained differences.
4: Keep it interesting. Humans, again, are responsive to stimulation. A negative stimulus can cause defensive mechanisms to rear their head. However, excitement and curiosity provide positive incentive. Our brains react to these with chemical reactions and produce real biological love drugs: dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin to name a few. “It is interesting that the brain excited or in love looks like a brain on speed or stimulants in a CAT scan,” laughs Dr. Leite. Just as the brain forms patterns to avoid danger, the brain can create patterns to repeat positive motivations. Allowing you and your partner time to go on adventures together while balancing some time to yourself is critical to your marriage. Leave room for mystery and exploration, and allow nature to do the rest. We are all truly animals and creatures of evolved habits. The ability to adapt to our nature and apply compassion and consideration to our conversations enables us to not only get married but stay married.

Hide & Seek in New Orleans
By Sally Walker Davies; photography courtesy New Orleans CVB & Pat Garin
It’s hard to imagine that you can actually have a quiet weekend focused on romance in the never-hushed city of New Orleans, but it’s possible. The key to having that kind of experience is to find a hideaway outside the French Quarter, and seek out the seductively charming side of the city. Just a few blocks from the constant din of the Quarter, the Warehouse Arts District is almost otherworldly. While the neighborhood is classic New Orleans – the French architectural influence is still pervasive – the atmosphere is almost serene compared to the raucous Quarter. The chic Renaissance Arts Hotel is filled with pieces from local and national artists, from the Dale Chihuly chandelier in the lobby to the photographs and small paintings in the guest rooms. The neighborhood offers blocks of galleries through which to stroll, with prices that range from downright steals to once-in-alifetime splurges. There’s an art walk the first Saturday of each month, with galleries staying open in the evenings, and thanks its designation as a Louisiana cultural district, there’s no sales tax on original art purchased in the district. The lush Ogden Museum of Southern Art, part of the University of New Orleans, is located in the district and is an excellent option for a quiet afternoon contemplating the works within. Even the district’s Saturday’s farmers market is
96 / 4Memphis
serene, filled with locally-produced bottles of flavored jams and spicy flavored vinegars – the kinds of happy gifts to bring home to friends – and there are buckets of gorgeous heirloom blooms which may not last the weekend but certainly won’t go unappreciated. New Orleans is filled with restaurants that offer cozy tables, romantic patios, or private nooks for dining. We’re all for breaking out of the self-imposed isolation and heading into the Quarter for a lush meal at Susan Spicer’s legendary Bayona, housed in an historic Creole cottage. Café Amelie’s courtyard is romantic day or night, its tables that aren’t too close together, so there’s plenty of privacy. In the Warehouse District, Memphis native Ryan Prewitt is a chef and partner at Peche Seafood Grill, where his mastery of all things seafood earned him a James Beard Foundation award as the South’s best chef earlier this year – and the restaurant received a Beard for best new restaurant, too. New Orleans seems to teem with excellent spas these days, and the Ritz Carlton’s pampering treatments are always top-notch. Guys will discover that there’s nothing better than a visit to Aidin Gills, the classic gentleman’s barber shop on Magazine Street. One shave at Aidin Gills, and he’ll never settle for a can of Barbasol again.

They can be small, thin, purple-colored lines (called “spider veins”) lying just below the surface, or they can appear as thick, bulging or knotted veins. While many people think that varicose veins are simply a cosmetic issue, there is often an underlying medical problem that causes varicose veins.
