Married with Kids

I hate to admit this, after all I've written about being a good, submitted wife, but lately I've noticed that fighting with my husband works.

I don't actually want to fight with him.  I'm in this place where fighting with the people I love makes me feel awful, and more battle...... Read More

This week, yet again, I've noticed some issues in my marriage about money. Unfortunately, I do not know how to approach my husband.  My view of money is changing, as I'm coming to believe that we need to move towards becoming fully debt free, purchasing only with cash, building a more......

Today I'm writing in praise of my husband.  11 years into marriage, and 17 years after our courtship started, romance and the whole idea of "wooing" can be a distant memory.  For women, this is frustrating to say the least.

That's why I was pleasantly surprised this week when...... Read More

If you're reading this, presumably you have kids and are interested in finding out how to have more time for sex with your spouse.
As the parent of two pretty young special needs kids (ages 3 and 6) who works full time, as does my spouse, I know how

There is a myth that says that if you are a woman, you are somehow programmed to be "nurturing".

Yea, right.  I love my children, but it takes every ounce of my strength and being when they are sick and demanding.  (Sometimes they get "too sick to even move", which is scary,...... Read More

I have to admit, my husband and I have a great time vacationing.  We are so in sync on what we love to do, and we always seem to get tired or get bored at the same time.

However, when it comes to traveling to our destination or getting ready beforehand, it's a different story. ...... Read More

This week I have arguing on my mind, specifically, when two spouses argue.  In a bad economy and a hot summer, it’s all too easy to push your spouses’ button and get off on the wrong foot.  It can quickly get ugly.  Every time there’s an argument like this, the only way to...... Read More

Today I was listening to a song from the 80s and started reminiscing about some guy I barely knew who the song reminded me of.  For about 2 seconds, I went down the "what if" lane, only to realize that maybe, just maybe, I had a perfectly good man at home.  Maybe having the husband...... Read More

Before I write this post, I want you to know that I'm a liberal and a feminist, as well as a woman who has long battled with whether or not I'm Christian. So when I talk about wifely submission, I know a little something about how this concept really sticks in the throat for women.

The economy is making this a tough environment for marriages to survive, much less thrive.  It's critical for both partners to do their best to keep love and romance alive. 

A few years ago, I learned something about husbands (and men in general) that I did not know that has...... Read More

This week I was posting one of my mom lists and was shocked to hear from a number of women that they have stopped "dating" their husbands because they cannot find a baby sitter. They sounded unconcerned, assuming they would pick up dating when the kids “got older”.

To all these...... Read More
