CRUISE HELPS CRANKY COUPLES MAKE-UP

GASTONIA, N.C. (Wireless Flash) -- Talk about cabin fever: A North Carolina-based cruise organizer is planning the world's first boat cruise for bickering couples. The seven-day Caribbean cruise in July of next year supposedly will help couples make-up with a series of seminars on topics such as "Couple Dialogue," "Marriage for the Long Run" and "Bridge to Intimacy." Husbands and wives will also be able to attend tango lessons and massage workshops designed to make them be more touchy-feely with each other. A spokeswoman for the cruise says the trip isn't for every couple, however. She says couples who are on the verge of divorce should avoid the cruise because they probably won't be able to tolerate each other for seven days at sea.
