Say What? Just Write It!

 
One of the (many) things I do appreciate about Marc is that he has worked hard to overcome the language barrier between us.
You see, he is a talker and I am a writer.

Say What?

What you say to your spouse and how you say it, don’t always come across as what you mean. Words are important in your marriage. They are one of the ways I express to Marye that I love her.

Time to wrap up the June poll, and Kerri and I are both pleased to see the results.

How much time do you spend daily talking to your spouse?

Handling Arguments with Company Around

Okay, so, we all know we love our spouses unconditionally, right? Without doubt, we’ll be there for them? They can count on us? Okay, so it’s not always easy to know those things, but we believe that they’re true.
That doesn’t mean, however, that we always get along with our spouses or never […]

And mark it with a “T”….

….for “tattoo,” that is.
Yes, I got one. I think this is the last public platform that I can exploit to share the news. Though, here, at least, it does lead to a relevant post.
I’ve talked for years about getting a tattoo. Years. Bald Man’s always been, “yeah, that’s cool.” So, […]

I read his e-mail….

…and, no, I found nothing tantalizing, titillating, nor troubling.
In fact, the e-mail that I read was from a long lost couple that we’re trying to reconnect with, so maybe it was tantalizing after all. Except that it’s in reach. So, never mind.
The point (see? I do have one.) is that I read […]

“Sure, he’d be happy to….”

Bald Man started coaching our middle child’s first soccer team tonight. He didn’t out and out volunteer to coach, but said “yes” after the soccer association called parents asking for help. I was actually the one who answered the phone, and was the parent initially asked, but was more than happy to pass […]

Engaged Over Twitter

Yes, it’s true. A man proposed and a woman accepted. All over twitter. Looks legit.
And it doesn’t appear to have been the first time this happened. Greg & Stef a few weeks ago. And Jerrod & Shannon six months before that. There are even rumors of one prior to them.
All the best to both couples, […]

What’s good for the goose…

So, surely we all have those things in marriage that we wish we could change in our spouses. You know, those petty habits of theirs that aren’t going to make or break the marriage, but that you just really wish they would fix already!!! We’re not the only ones, right?
So, for me, it’s […]
