Farewell, Fair Readers

Hey all. Just one last post to say good-bye to all of our readers who’ve read, commented, and linked to Marriage Actually over the last year. Bald Man and I have had a great time writing here and getting to know you a bit, but life is taking us in different directions right […]

A good balance…

I think I’ve mentioned before that Bald Man and I are a pretty good balance. One is a little more organized. I’m a little (read as—a lot) less so. One likes a schedule and expectations. I’m more willing to fly by the seat of my pants. One is bald. […]

New Neighbors!

Okay, so I’m a bit behind in welcoming Marye and Marc to Marriage Actually. Marye’s one of my favorite b5 bloggers to read, so it’s exciting to have her and her husband joining us here. I’m enjoying their posts already, and look forward to learning from them and their experiences. No doubt […]

Head on over to Brew Ha-Ha to see what the b5 bloggers are cooking up for one of summer’s most important activities–Barbequeing!!!

I need him…

There are so very many ways that I need Bald Man, and not just the fun ones. ;) I need him to reach back in the very top of the kitchen cupboard (and I’m not short, so that is really a need). I need him to take out the bathroom trash (cuz it’s […]

Barbecues - Domain of the Husband

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 […]

When Your Friends Get Divorced

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 […]

Couples Date Nights

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 […]

Marriage Poll: How Do You Sort Playing Cards

The holiday weekend gave Kerri and I a number of opportunities to play games with neighbors, and this question stems directly from a “disagreement” we had with another couple this weekend. Simply put: How do you sort playing cards? Assuming you order them, there are two likely possibilities. Looking at your hand and reading from […]
