Can You Change a Flirt?

Can you change a flirt? No you can’t. But keep reading, there is still hope for the situation. If the one you are in love with is a flirt, don’t expect that once you’re married, you will be able to change him or her. It doesn’t work that way. Acting jealous won’t make them change. Giving them a taste of their own medicine is also not a good idea. It usually ends up creating even more problems. So does that mean there is nothing you can do? Basically yes. You can’t change them. The only solution is if they want … Continue reading →

You Can Window Shop All You Like

‘You can window shop all you like so long as you don’t take the goods home.’ This is the attitude of many to marriage. Another along similar lines is ‘you can flirt as much or lust as you like, so long as when you’re having sex it’s with your spouse.’ These are the type of attitudes a young married couple hear a lot from others they work with and even their friends. The idea is that it is harmless but is it? Faithfulness in marriage isn’t only about sex. It also means not going off for coffee with another of … Continue reading →

Do You Do PDA?

As I’ve said before, one of my favorite commentators is also someone who regularly feeds my muse: Jade “The Muse” Walker. She’s been really good about continuing to send me links to interesting articles in spite of the fact that I’ve gotten sidetracked in writing about them. One of the last ones she sent me was about an experiment ABC News conducted in both New Jersey and Alabama. It had to do with public displays of affection, also known as PDA. A couple of years back they’d done an experiment of the same nature. They hired actors to pose as … Continue reading →

Would You Confess to Having An Affair?

One main component in a successful relationship between two people is honesty and trust. Without it, most people find that their relationship falls apart. Couples have to feel confident that they have their mate’s love and honor. They have to know that the relationship is strong and dependable. Sadly not all relationships have trust. Once trust is broken, it can be very difficult to get back. We all know that there are people out there that have affairs and that are unfaithful to their spouse. We hear about mates who get caught and couples who divorce and couples who work … Continue reading →

Not My Idea of Romance

Not so much for me In my first two marriage posts I mentioned not really adhering to or enjoying “lovey-dovey” relationships. I realized if I’m going to keep using that as a contrast to what my marriage is like, I ought to define how I’m using the term. The simplest way, because otherwise the English major in me will extrapolate the phrase to death, is to do so with a story. My husband and I don’t give each other anniversary gifts, but that wasn’t always the case. When we were younger we did such things because we thought we should … Continue reading →

Couples’ Photos for Valentine’s Day

I know scores of women who would go gaga if their significant other suggested they book a professional photo session to document their love for one another. In most cases guys shy away from posing for the camera, and wouldn’t dream of spending big bucks to hire a pro shutterbug to snap him kissing and cuddling his sweetheart—-even on Valentine’s Day. However, subtract some clothing and his tune might change on a dime. Boudoir photography, which includes intimate images of couples, is a very popular genre. It is intended to be sexy and sensual, but not in a raunchy way. … Continue reading →

What Does It Mean To Be Faithful?

Yesterday we looked at the idea of being faithful? But what does it mean to be faithful in marriage? Yes there is the commitment and need to be faithful to your partner sexually. That means more though than just not committing the sexual act with anyone else. It means not even fantasizing about it with another person. That should then affect the way we treat members of the opposite sex. We should not flirt with them and get into situations which can be wrongly interpreted. It may mean not kissing or hugging members of the opposite sex no matter how … Continue reading →

Average Length of Marriages

Mary Ann posed an interesting question on a recent article, about the average length of marriages these days. It’s hard to track down exact statistics as there are so many variables, but here are a few things I found will give an idea of the length of the average marriage. In the United Kingdom in 2003, out of 153490 divorces, 40,599 divorces occurred during the first 5-9 years time frame. The next biggest number was between 10-14 years 29,831 and 20,923 in the 15-19 years period. What is interesting is the number that ends up in divorce after only 0-2 … Continue reading →
