So You Wanna Get Married?

Hey, United Statesians! (Hmmm… maybe that’s why we call ourselves “Americans” even though we’re only one country out of 35 in the two American continents.) If you’re thinking about getting married, do you know the requirements in your state? Did you know seven states still require a blood test to get a marriage license? And […]

His n’ Hers Christmas Presents

OK, I’ve got yet another question for you: How do you handle Christmas presents for each other? Kerri and I have probably experimented with most of the variations - except not getting anything - but have yet to settle into any norm. Presents are a big deal to Kerri, so I have usually gotten something […]

Questions… Questions

Perhaps it’s too late for me to be writing, but something has occurred to me that I feel compelled to share before forgetting.
Have you noticed that Kerri and I ask a lot of questions on this here blog? How do you handle sports rivalries? How do you encourage your spouse? Where do you go for […]

Happy Halloween!

Being that we’re parents of little ones right now, Halloween is all about the kids. This year we had a fairy princess, a ghost (very specifically a naughty ghost and not a nice one, he said!), and Bob the Builder.

What Do You Do When Your Spouse Is Done?

Kerri has had a full week. A good week, no doubt; but nevertheless a full one. How do I know? She’s in bed. She isn’t sick, but it’s only 10:48 PM, and Kerri is already in bed. This from the woman who is clinging to her night owl days far more tenaciously then Jack […]

“Green Burgers Kill People!”

So, Kerri and I have been flipping channels tonight, and we were drawn in to the latest Fox reality train wreck, Kitchen Nightmares with Gordan Ramsay. Tonight’s show centered on a family run restaurant, and its got me thinking about being in business with my spouse. I wonder if we could do it. I know […]

Sign of a Good Marriage?

No, the size of the diamond is not the indicator of a good marriage. Good marriages and bad marriages alike come in all shapes, sizes, weights, and purities of gemstones. And sometimes no gemstones at all.
No, the sign of a good marriage that I’m thinking of is one that keeps coming up lately. […]

Personalized Wedding Rings: Trendy or Tacky?

Christine over at Our One Heart was talking about Personalized Wedding Rings. No, no… not something etching inside the band, like initials or your wedding date. This is something on the outside of the band. A message that the world is meant to see.

Night Owl, Early Bird

So, we’re not all about the answers, tips and that here. We also have questions!!! We’ve mentioned a few times that we are so very opposite in so many ways. One of those ways is our natural preferences for scheduling a day. Though we have restrictions (me with the kids, […]
