Resort owners tired of relatives By Abigail Van Buren 1981 by Universal Press Svndicnle DEAR ABBY: Three years ngn my husbnnd and I bought 11 motel and restaurant in a resort area miles north of our hometown.

We nre both from large families. Our problem is our relatives who come to visit us all summer long. We give them hnlf-price on rooms and food, but they come when our tourist business is at its peak, and they take up all the rooms that could be rented to tourists for full rate. Ours is a smnll but prospering business, and my husband and I run it together. Abby, our parents are welcome anytime, but carloads of aunts, uncles, cousins and their children pile in on us, taking up most of the rooms.

Also, after driving so far to see us, they stay for several days expectinR us to entertain them in the evenings after we have put in an exhausting H-hour day! Engagements le there a nice way to ask them not to come at the height of the season? We just can't find the words. We do love them and don't want them to be mad at us. US AT THE RESORT DEAR US: The words you used in your tetter say it all and very well. Love is usually a two-way street. Tell them.

If they love you, they will understand. DEAR ABBY: I want to share with you and your readers an activity my wife and I find to be excellent for releasing tension: boxing! My wife and I each own a pair of boxing gloves. On those infrequent occasions when we've had a bitter argument over something, we clear out the living room, Ince on the gloves and have a go at each other. It enables us to blow off steam and keep our self-defense skills sharp. We recommend boxing for couples who have lost something in their marriages.

It'll put the zip back in! MIXING IT UP IN MINNEAPOLIS DEAR MIXING: I'm all for blowing off steam and keeping one's self-defense skills sharp, but wouldn't a couple of punching bags serve the each his (and her) own. Me? I'd rather kiss and make up. DEAR ABBY: Recently a Seattle lawyer wrote to you concerning the problem of aliens marrying U.S. citizens. Your response could be misleading.

A sham marriage, as it is known, involves a conspiracy to avoid the immigration laws, and the alien the citizens can go to the penitentiary for up to five years. Regardless of whether the people say "I love you" to each other, if they are married in name only and not living together people know. When the U.S. citizen spouse starts demanding blackmail from the alien people know. When people testify against each other because they have had a fight and the citizen spouse is looking for a "cheap divorce" (i.e., deportation) people know.

By the way, there is also a statutory presumption in our immigration law, that if a marriage is dissolved within two years after obtaining the immigration benefit, there is a preaumption of fraud. This is a very serious matter, and your response indicated to me that you did not understand just how serious it might HOUSTON LAWYER DEAR LAWYER: You're right. I didn't. Thanks for setting me straight. Getting married? Whether you want a formal church wedding or a simple, "do-your-own-thing" ceremony, get Abby's new booklet.
