Marriage, is it necessary?
What is marriage? A legal union of two people in a monogamous relationship. Keyword “legal” What does it mean for couples who are religious? When a man and a woman unite to become one flesh. A covenant is formed. Keyword “covenant” What does marriage mean to you and your partner? Is it a step that is necessary. You have the “perfect” relationship. You are committed to each other, and the monogamy of your relationship. You have unwritten rules about your union and you both respect that about each other. You are happy with proving your loyalty to each other every day without legal union representation for the world to see or acknowledge, but…

Make Time For What Matters
We are so busy with the lives we lead that it becomes automatic after awhile. Careers, family, household duties, the list goes on. They matter but is it what we want to do? I blog about relationships and those relationships go beyond just marriage and dating but also relationships we have with our children, our friends, and our selves. Are we making time for what matters in those relationships? Sometimes I become so routine to the point where a week will go by and all I can remember is waking up, going to work, coming home, doing homework, making dinner, and preparing to do it all over again the next day. If time…

Interracial Relationships and the fight continues
I was reading an article about an interracial couple who was attacked at a restaurant by a group called White Lives Matter. They were harassed in the restaurant and then physically attacked when they left the restaurant, just for being an interracial couple. I am saddened by this because as Americans we have freedoms that you would think would allow us to love who we want where we want. What is the fear in this? Where does the hate come from? I look at people in love as a symbol of two people who have looked at each other and have accepted ALL of this person with the idea of building a future. …

Do You Have a Dream For Your Relationship?
I was thinking that we all have dreams for our futures. Do you ever dream about the things you want for your relationship? I know we dream about being in a relationship or having the strength to escape one, but if our relationship is good and strong do we continue to dream for more in our relationship? Sometimes I do get complacent and feel that I am where I want to be in my relationship, but then I find myself wanting more out of it. I am faced with the positive reality that wanting more out of your relationship doesn’t mean your relationship is bad but that wanting more is actually healthy for…

Wanderlust
Netflix has a new mini-series called Wanderlust, have you seen it? The definition they give is strong longing for or impulse toward wandering. I found this movie to be very funny and insightful. A desire so strong to encourage wandering outside of the marriage. Exploration that goes beyond flirting and playful conversation. I won’t say much about the movie because I may spoil it for some who have not seen it. Anyway … If given the opportunity … well, I don’t see it as an opportunity but as a disaster to the security of your relationship. Think about it, if your partner gave you the go-ahead to have relations with others would you…

Images of Love
Lately, I feel like everywhere I look the world is showcasing images of couples in love. I love the idea of people displaying their love for their partner, but on a side note what I don’t appreciate is the idea that this is something new now that celebrities are finding out that showing their love for one another is appealing. With the magic of social media and the acceptance of fans showing how much they love that you love your boo, long-term relationships must be a new thing for the rest of the world, UM NO!. I know couples who have been madly in love with each other for years. They loved being…

Depression in a Relationship
Relationships face many barriers those we see and those that are hidden. The relationship can struggle as a whole or the people in the relationship can suffer separately which may cause a relationship to deteriorate and ultimately end. Depression is one of those barriers that can sometimes end the strongest relationship and it is not because the fight to save the relationship was not there it is because it became too exhausting for both people in the relationship. Depression comes in many actions and behaviors and if what you are experiencing is not communicated to your partner they may see your suffering as something negative and not what they want in a relationship.…

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…
