My husband thought it would be a good idea to bake 300 brownies today

Oh yeah, this is a good idea. Let's just bake 300 brownies today dear. It's for a fundraiser for arts in schools for kids. My husband committs himself too much, can't say no, and somehow I get roped into the follow through. He was asked to particiapte in a Real Men Cook Off where the guys have to...

Are you hurt by unreal expectations?

Expectations, anticipation, unreal expectations... Zinger! I have been and continue to be hurt my unreal expectations of myself, others and my spouse. Why do I do this? Why do we humans do this? I live in the world of my own making--this is where I live. For as long as I can recall I have been a... Sign in to see full entry.

Lose10 lbs and save your marriage with African mango?

http://creativelearningstudio.org/ Change is so difficult. Especially our eating habits. What does this have to do with marriage? Plenty. Being overweight leads to more snoring and more snoring leads to sleeping alone, or sleeping fitfully or nightly fights. Being overweight leads to a variety of... Sign in to see full entry.

I was thinking about Arialas blog about relationships, some weird magic

Any relationship is going to take work. We all know that. But I wonder how many young people know that there will be times you can't stand the other person, maybe even feel hate. At those times, you just wait it out. You pretend to like them. Pretend to be nice and all of a sudden, the other person... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you jealous of your spouse's success?

My husband just completed his doctorate in education--a 7 year long and exhausting journey. At first I was elated and so proud of him. Many times I had to encourage him and keep him going. Just when I didn't think it would ever end, it did. A strange sort of feeling followed--like now what? Once you... Sign in to see full entry.

Is your husband doing the laundry today? This is Love language

"Do you have any quarters dear?" my husband called from the bedroom. Now that's a question I like to hear because it means he is getting ready to do the laundry. We live in a small condo, very small, so we have to do our laundry in the laundry room which is 3 buildings away. It's a heavy load for me... Sign in to see full entry.

Marriage: Is it a battlefield or a refuge?

Marriage can be a tough battlefield with a fight every day that wears you out or it can be a place of refuge--a place to come home to. It changes through the years as we do. Each change brings with it special challenges to be met. Some days you don't like each other much, other days you feel like... Sign in to see full entry.

Does your partner want to come home to you?

Married over thirty years and I still like the guy. I guess we have learned to let the unimportant things slide, and focus on what's really important--each other. We do more for each other, and are kinder, more aware that each day is a precious gift from God. Life is a vapor, and we never know what... Sign in to see full entry.
