Just quickly to let you know that Marye & I are talking and working on things. She is tenacious, we had a long talk in a parked van on Saturday. She figured she had a captive audience.
We had our first Christian Counseling session yesterday and a coffee date afterward. Even after the counseling we are still on speaking terms. Nothing new, just the groundwork and our objectives.
Marye and I are committed to one another. That has not changed. It won’t change. As y’all know from reading our posts over the past eight months, …read more

I was driving back from dropping the older two boys off to mountain bike this morning and passed a sign at a car dealership.  I almost had to stop the car so  could read it a couple of times.
What did it say?
“Credit Challenged? We can get  you into a new car!”

Do you have something in common with your mate? Besides kids, house, and bills, I mean.  Do you have something that you enjoy doing together?
I keep reading that it is important to have something in common with the person you are going to marry or are married to.
I am not sure that activity wise Marc and I have a whole lot in common.  I think we are willing to do things that the other person enjoys, or we were at one time, but for the most part at this point we really don’t have any hobbies or activities that we …read more

Hurt, pain, negative emotions…these seem to all be things that people are afraid of.  We want to be happy, to enjoy life, to impress people with our optimistic perfection, and meanwhile soothe our own psyches into thinking that everything is good, or it will be if we can just control that one uncontrollable thing…
The uncontrollable thing might be a spouse, a stress, an illness, a situation, a parent…whatever.  There is that one thing that seems to thumb its nose in our faces everytime things look like they are coming into some sort of order.
And then hurt rushes in.

 
To those of you who are our age and empty-nesters this will be funny, but if you still have young children under the roof there are times you do not care if they cry or how loud or how long.  I had one of those times last night.

 
I always have to be extremely careful what I say in my first sentence.  Why? Simple…because the first hundred or so characters will show up on Facebook and there are kids that are linked to me on Facebook..including my own!
How sexy do you feel? Right now, right this minute.  If you were a fictional character which one would you be?

 
I think there will be only one more post (after this) in this series, at least for now.  I hope that it has given you something to think about and been helpful in some way.
One of the major differences I have noticed in women that orgasm easily and those who don’t is that those who do think about sex more than those who don’t.  This could have something to do with hormone levels or it could just be habit…But I believe that it is a habit that can be established.

 
Unless you live in Massachusetts, Connecticut or California ( if Prop. 8 passes the general election on November 4th) marriage is a union/ contract/ Covenant between one man, one woman, and God.  That is how God ordained marriage in His Word.

 
Tony Woodlief began a series August 26 called the Transactional Marriage.  he has three  parts done so far.
I don’t even know where to start with this except to say that I whole heartedly disagree. Sometimes things can sound very spiritual without being necessarily biblical.

 
So I was thinking this morning, Wow we have had some great times. Sometimes I have to think back to a different time and remember fondly some of our memories together as a couple.
There are to many to mention now. There are things we did that just happened, like the Sprite soda incident before we were married.
