Morning Routines of Successful Marriages
Although I hate the idea of something being routine (routine meaning doing the same thing every day.) due to losing track of time and you look up and it’s 5 years later. This is every day on repeat without incorporating new things to improve that routine. In our minds, it works which is why it is a routine that you stick with until it doesn’t serve you anymore. If you are a couple who lives by structure and routine then consider adding or switching up your morning routine a little, especially if you are in a marriage that has become very routine (secret word for boring). I know mornings are quick-paced with a…

Marriage Advice from Single Friends/Family
No relationship is perfect. Every relationship has its ups and downs. Will every day be roses and candy? I would like to go on record and say no. We are all human and being human means we make mistakes, we make bad judgments, and sometimes we hide things that later come out to bite us in the rear. Does it make us bad people? No, it just makes us human. Sometimes when we become hypnotized by social media images we start expecting this greatness in our lives all the time and that leads to disappointments and disappointments turn into resentment and resentment into acts we are not so proud of, which leads me…

5 Traditional Valentine’s Day Ideas Updated!
Although I have personally outgrown the much loved holiday Valentine’s Day I do enjoy hearing other couples stories about how they celebrated. Some stories I am privileged to are cute and memorable and some are just sad and disastrous. If you have read my blog over time you know that my husband and I have given this holiday to the children. When we were younger (before kids and real life) my husband did grand gestures to show his creative and loving side. Now his gestures are simply words “Happy Valentine’s Day” if he remembers. I know it is not that he loves me any less I just know that we have decided a…

Love at first sight
Love, at first sight, sounds so romantic and timeless, but is there really such a thing? I mean there are a lot of first, like Love at first kiss Love at first dance Love at first woohoo You get the point. Love, at first sight, means you saw this person and before there was even the potential for a connection you fell in love. You fell in love with an image. This person did not have a conversation with you or give you a polite gesture all you did was see them. Ok, maybe I am looking at this all wrong. Maybe the saying means the first time you met this person you…

Love is in the air
It’s fall and it’s the perfect season for love. Fall or Autumn as some call it is the season where the most relationships go from casual to real love and commitment. It is also the season where singles find the “one” they have been waiting for. What is the logic behind this, I don’t know, but I do have a theory. I personally love fall. It is my favorite time of the year and it puts me in a cozy loving mood. In the summer it’s too hot to cuddle but it’s the perfect time to show off that body you have been working on all year. Heads turn too much in the…

Does absence make the heart grow fonder?
I thought I would talk about this topic because every time it comes around my opinion on the matter is completely different from what the rest of the world is thinking. The word absence according to Google means the state of being away from a person or place. We experience that with our partners more times than we realize. They are absent when we go to work, school, out with friends, and for time periods beyond our control. absence is not defined with a time period it is any amount of time. Now I have two views on this. I personally do not think absence makes the heart grow fonder but there are…

Have you ever been in a situation where you like someone and you think they like you too, but they are not making any moves? You start to think “am I sending off the right vibes?” I mean sometimes as a woman you have to just take the lead on this one and let him know, hey I’m interested, now you make the next move.

Would you do anything for love?
I have asked this question over and over again to myself, to my friends, to my family, and to my husband and the answers are never the same. Would you do anything for love? No is the answer I get from most, but if you thought about it as a positive emotion and not negative you might feel differently. I just watched the movie “Everything, Everything”, which was a teen love story that was so pure and loving. She thought she wouldn’t do anything for love but being in love changed that for her. Although she risked her life for love, she was really allowing love to help her take chances that she…
