According to the teasers for today’s Oprah the first Why Do Men Cheat? show didn’t go over that great because it let men off.
Gist of the show - “Men are lonely because they are basically emotionally retarded and the only communication they understand is sex, so wives should do it more. Oh, and men […]
Today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary.
We feel like wearing an “I survived the 7 Year Itch” t-shirt.
We’re in a better, happier, more comfortable, more stable, more loving, deeper, more affectionate, more real, place now than we ever have been. At least I feel that way.
The 7 year itch was like a journey into marriage war, […]
We went on a marriage retreat with a ropes course this weekend.
One of the challenges was to climb to the top of a telephone pole, stand on a platform at the top and then jump to a trapeze bar parallel to the pole, pretty far away. There’s a rope harness to keep you from falling […]
I took a major action step to Save Myself. It wasn’t easy, there were a few fights and one angry letter to Suze Orman over my using $50, of our already very tight budget, to Save My Self by opening a TD Ameritrade Account.
Rewind: Suze Orman had a Save Yourself Plan in her book Women […]
Is that an onomatopoeia for snoring?
I’m having fantasies about having my own bedroom. It’s not that I’m unromantic, I just don’t put romance over and above sleep on my list of priorities anymore.
Here’s how this works, I strategically fall asleep hours before my husband even comes to bed. I snooze peacefully for a while. Then I’m awake. I lie […]
I found this very funny, and potentially useful, website called Hassleme.
You can sign up for this website to send you an email harassment for things you forget, procrastinate or put-off.
Some of the common ones on the site are:
Go to the gym
Write an entry in my diary
Call your mother
Go to the theatre
Spend 5 hours doing something […]
Perhaps you too spent the first couple of years of marraige wondering exactly when all that Happily Ever After you had expected was to come?
Maybe, like me, you even got a little angry that the reality of what marriage is was only told to you by other wives AFTER you’d already made a lifelong commitment to it?
I […]
Maybe those who criticize the marriage of Jon & Kate plus 8 haven’t figured this out:
Happily Ever After was a damn lie. No one rides off into the sunset. The days are not all rosy and loving and no one is spending hours every day lying in bed telling each other how wonderful the other is. It’s just not […]
I’m going to my dad’s house to work. I can’t get anything done here. The computer is way too slow and the kids are driving me crazy.
Uh. These are my working conditions every single day.

Perhaps some of you are aware that my husband and I are participating in VOW, a marriage education course sponsored by the federal government in attempt to keep families together. Well, you can read about that over on So Sioux Me.
In their latest newsletter there were some interesting stats.
In an area with a population […]
Have you checked out the new VH1 reality show Scott Baio is 45 . . . and Single?
Okay, if you’re married and you have a fight with your husband and you think, Maybe I could do better, watch this show to be reminded about the quality of man who is still out there. The bad kind. The kind […]
In my quest for a better marriage I’m trying to let go of some expectations that have nothing to do with my actual husband.
I think everyone had an idea of who their future spouse would be. It was made up of romance novel men, chick flick men, and exposure to real men we knew like […]
Hello everyone, is anyone out there? Please comment so I don’t feel like I’m just talking to myself.
I want to share with everyone that my 3 day fast (I previously wrote about it - scroll down) was a total success.
Last night my husband came home from his spiritual retreat a new man. He was without […]
I’m in the middle of a 3 day fast.
My husband and I have been separated for a few weeks, he went to stay at his parents house. We’ve been struggling. It’s been painful. We’ve found ourselves in a cycle that we never intended to be in - yet, here we are. You are welcome to read […]
We’ve been married for more than 20 years — a veritable “long and winding road”, and for some reason lately, I’ve been thinking about all of the little things in our relationship that make our little world so special.
When we were newlyweds, I had it in my head that the wife is supposed to know […]
