Physical Examination: The Act of Love That Saves the Life of a Marriage

Over the past few weeks, Lori and I have both had what we affectionately call a “butt cam.” Some people also call it a colonoscopy.

It’s not my favorite way to spend my time, but it’s truly amazing that they can remove precancerous polyps and prevent you from developing one of the most common and deadly cancers we face.

Many men ignore doctors. When we are young, we can more or less get away with checkups, but as we age, an annual physical can save your life. Or keep you from pain or disability. In addition to identifying problems, annual physicals set a baseline for your body that can be helpful later on.

Current guidelines call for men to get a physical every five years until age 50 and annually thereafter. I mentioned earlier that my annual physical at age 58 revealed a disease that would have seriously harmed me before I had any symptoms.

It’s a marital issue because it’s very rude to die in your wife’s arms when you can easily avoid it. So be brave and go for it!
