Marriage

“Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do. It’s the way you love your partner every day." ~Barbara De Angelis

He Can Wait (& So Can She)

04/17/2018 Leave a Comment

It was the week of my 32nd birthday, and I took myself to a local nail salon to indulge in some self-pampering by way of a mani and pedi. Next to me was an older woman, maybe in her sixties, treating herself to the same while her husband perused the local shops nearby. Twice he…

Your Relationship Doesn’t Suck, You Do

02/27/2018 Leave a Comment

“Your relationship doesn’t suck, you do!” she said to me, with total conviction in her voice. No, my girlfriend didn’t say this, because we all know as a busy mother of three little ones I don’t have very much time for friends; at least any that require my full, undivided attention. So, who was it…

Husbands: Let It Go!

02/18/2018 Leave a Comment

I went platinum blonde recently and my husband, well, he doesn’t care too much for the new casper-esque look. What do I say to him? Let it the “f” go! Not because I want him to (because Lord knows how much he doesn’t want to do anything I instruct him to do), but because Elsa…

I’m Not Doing Marriage Right

01/16/2018 6 Comments

I’m not doing marriage right. I’m petty, a pest, and quick to react. I’m boring, a bit selfish, and put my husband second. Not behind me, because I’m not that vain, but behind my children and their needs, that’s for sure. I don’t always greet him in the morning with a smile or kiss, but…

Gosh Darn It Husband, Just Listen!

12/17/2017 Leave a Comment

If your wife needs something fixed she would call a handyman. She would phone a friend, post a query in her local online mommy group, or peruse Angie’s List and read through each and every review — but guess what? She didn’t, ’cause nothing needs to be fixed. Nope. She doesn’t need you to fix…

We Don’t Dance In The Dark — Are We Doomed?

11/20/2017 2 Comments

You know those couples who after the kids go to bed, meet in the kitchen, drink red wine and dance in the dark to slow jams. THAT. IS. NOT. US. Nope — not even close. We don’t dance in the dark.  We don’t even dance in the light. And, we sure as heck don’t dance…

I Want My Husband To Fight With Me

11/13/2017 10 Comments

I want my husband to fight with me. Now before you get your panties in a wad or jump to any conclusions, I in no way, shape, or form condone abuse of any kind; not physical or emotional. So, for those that are quick to react — just relax, that is not what we are…
