Barbecuing really is the one typical cooking domain of the husband, isn’t it? Well, that and pancake breakfasts. At least those are the only two meals that I am generally responsible for when they come up on the menu. Last weekend we had family and friends over for the holiday and I managed to turn […]
Here’s a question for you: Let’s say you’re friends with another married couple. The four of you get along pretty well until one day you don’t. Or rather, they stop getting along with each other, and eventually they get divorced. What do you do? Double dates are, um, out of the question. Do you go […]
Okay, okay, I know it’s probably hard enough to find time just to talk with each other (though many of you seem to be doing well there!), when in the world can you find time to spend with another couple???
Fortunately for us, we have some suckers down the street that we conned into being friends […]
Sleep has not come easily for either Kerri or me this week. She’s experiencing a bout of insomnia again, something she’s battled pretty regularly for a number of months now. I have had a couple sleepless nights stressing over work. And although both of us have been going to bed late - not that that’s […]
Economic Woman has a post out on a study that shows how the division of housework changes post-wedding day. Women, it turns out, do seven hours of housework more per week after they marry than they did before. Men, on the other hand, do one hour less after they marry than they did before. Very […]
Spring is in the air, and this year it means a whole bunch of remodeling around the Aldrich homestead. We’ve got a deck at bat, a kitchen on deck, and about twelve other things waiting in the dugout for their turn. (I can’t believe I just used a baseball metaphor.) We’re doing most of this […]
I came across a pretty good list of questions over at Haq Islam that would merit review by any couple probably, not just those considering or preparing for marriage. Some of the questions clearly express a particular religious perspective, but they can pretty easily be adapted to other circumstances. The questions run the gamut, from […]
And thank God for it!
It’s been a stressful few weeks, and is appears I needed a break. When a friend called Kerri this afternoon to see if I would be willing to play soccer tonight, she answered yes without even asking with me. (Wait… I think she did ask me, but it was more of […]
I thin we’ve mentioned on here before that a favorite way for us to relax at the end of a day is by watching TV series on DVD. Anymore, I really don’t care to watch much of anything on broadcast. Who can stand the commercials? I can watch an hour episode in 43 minutes, and […]
Recently the Church of England released a new publication titled Growing Together. It’s a short book (and course, I think) designed to help new couples along with new marriage.
The whole idea has me thinking about premarital counseling. Did you have any counseling before you got married? It’s pretty standard around these parts if you want […]
