When an acquaintance recently responded to my comment that life is good by stating that it’s easy for me to say that because “you’re beautiful,” I was decidedly not flattered. Had she said to me in general that I’m beautiful, I would have loved hearing that. However, her manner was accusatory, hateful and very hurtful. […] More
Marriage is a beautiful union that permanently binds two people who love each other deeply and dearly. It is all a very romantic concept, but it is also a very difficult experience that a lot of people greatly underestimate. This may probably be the reason why about half of the marriages in America end up […] More
“I want another baby, but my husband is not on board,” was the conversation I had with an acquaintance recently at a gathering. She and her husband already have two kids, and she was ready for a third. However, she confided in me that her husband was absolutely against having another baby and that she […] More
Let’s get something straight. I’m not advocating lying in a relationship in a larger sense. For example, I’ve told my wife every single detail about my past relationships. I’ve told her about my love for things I’d care not to mention on this site. Essentially all the “big ones” have been covered. Also, I happen […] More

My husband and I have a rule in our house; we don’t fight in front of the kids. We have this for several reasons. One, we’d like our kids to see us disagree and work through our differences in a respectful and mature manner rather than screaming at one another. We feel that this sets […] More
For better or worse, in sickness and health, ‘til death do we part; the beautiful, sacred and very important words we speak when we wed. My husband and I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, and we talked about these words. We talked about or betters (four beautiful kids, our careers, our life) and our […] More
Before text messages were possible, we had to – gulp – talk on the phone. It was a horrible, awful time in the lives of so many. Some of us grew up during a time in which we did not even have cell phones. That meant we had to take this thing that was attached […] More
The misconception that couples therapy is just for those who are on the brink of divorce is just asinine. Dax Shepard, husband of Kristen Bell (you know her as Anna from Frozen), and his wife are in couples therapy and they’re not even considering a divorce – nor were they ever. Bell said it best, […] More
