Couples and Christmastime Traditions

I’ve been so busy this month “doing” Christmas that whatever spirit I’ve had has been forced so far. But tonight during dinner Elf was on. As Wayne and I sat merrily cracking away on our crab legs (Publix had them on sale…Yum!), one of our little trees winked back at me, and I laughed at Will Ferrell’s antics as Buddy the Elf, I felt the real Christmas spirit finally taking hold. My stress started melting away and I realized I could suddenly breathe a little easier. There’s not much left to do except enjoy the holiday. The last big Christmas … Continue reading →

Couple Time at Christmastime

With all that you have to do to get ready for Christmas or other special days, you may find yourself missing your spouse. Even though the two of you pass each other now and again, you may not have had much time lately to simply enjoy each other’s company. There is much to do on an everyday basis, with work, home, bills to pay, meals, and if you have kids, the list may seem to go on forever. Add to that your long list of holiday preparations, and it may look like you’ll never have a chance to spend a … Continue reading →

Television Wasn’t Very Supportive of Marriage This Season

Posted on by

It’s June, which means the standard television season is over and done with. There are a few shows to look forward over the summer, but for the most part the 2006-07 television season is over and done with.

There’s a reason for that – as many marketing promoters will tell you – happy marriages … Continue reading →

I know a woman who got busted doing just that. She didn’t know what to say. The kids later told Dad what they saw and then it was up to him to figure out an answer. I think they are still trying to explain it… Another song that might make things a little strange is “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer!” It’s meant in good fun, but if … Continue reading →
