10 Things to do for Valentines Day
This post is for those that do celebrate Valentine’s Day. I guess it would be those in a new relationship or those who are in the honeymoon stages of their marriage. I am not against this holiday by any means, I just feel that you should show your love for one another all the time instead of once a year. Now I am not saying exhaust yourself with gift-giving every day, just reminders every now and again throughout the year. That being said it is now time to give you how I think Valentine’s Day should be spent with the one you love. Check out the museum or the aquarium. I have always…

Ex Lovers as Friends
This is a question that has been posed to me and my acceptance of it in my marriage. Now if you follow my blog or podcast you know how I feel about ex anything. Ex-boyfriends, Ex-girlfriends, Ex friend with benefits, ex whatever it is not happening in my relationship. Some may say I am insecure, but believe me that is not it. I trust my husband and I trust our union, now can I trust that the ex only wants to be a friend, well, that I don’t know and I don’t think there is ever a way to tell. Things always start out innocent but remember there was a reason they dated…

Whatever Happened to the Chase?
Once we are in a committed relationship, we as in both partners, somehow think it is okay to give up the chase of winning each other over. In today’s time, the chase is non-existent, in some cases, before the commitment is even reached. Whatever happened to flowers just because, surprise lunch dates, a card, or poetry for no other reason than to express what you mean to each other, sentimental gifts, or a compliment that uplifts your partner on their worse day. I miss that feeling of feeling like I am thought about. I miss that feeling of not taking things for granted and assuming I will always be around. Truthfully I will be,…

Traveling with your spouse
Traveling with my husband is one of the things I really love about being in a relationship with someone I love. We have had our experiences good and bad traveling, but we always come out with a little more enjoyment and love for one another. Just recently we took a short vacation to Washington DC to tour the White House. Although we have traveled to this location before, it was like being there for the first time, because we were traveling without children. Those of you with children know what it is like to attend anything with young children, it’s all about them and their comfort and your ability to keep them behaving appropriately.…

Can you love the unforgivable?
I use to think that in order to deepen your love for someone you must love unconditionally. My husband has brought to my attention that loving unconditionally is a bunch of bull. The example he uses is, if one day I just kick him in the face four times without reason, without apology, or without remorse he cannot continue to love me unconditionally. He will start to love me with conditions. You keep kicking me we are going to have a problem. There are conditions! Which only makes sense. Love is so many things, but it is not one that holds a grudge or a reminder of the things you have done…
