Thoughts on Soul Mates and Single People

In the Single Side of Things article I wrote in as part of my analysis of Today’s “Why I Got Married, Why I Stayed Single Series”, I ended by saying I didn’t really buy that the single women interviewed were truly happy with their decisions to stay single. Tainted View My thoughts on this are kind of corrupted, because my sister’s a 51-year-old never-been-married single woman. Back in her 20s it was common to hear her declare, “I’m never going to get married. I don’t need it.” Then in her 30s she found someone she thought she might marry. Actually, … Continue reading →

Do Women Read Too Much Into Things?

Posted on by

Most books and therapists will state that women are much more concerned with emotional ties and bonds than men. It is more important for women to have an emotional connection with their mate than it is for men to have a special bond with their mate. One day a friend and I were talking and she expressed how she felt that her and her mate were not as connected as they once were. She felt that he was more distracted and that their bond had lessened. She had worried over the subject for a few days until she finally decided … Continue reading →

How Women Pick Their Mates

Have you ever wondered what it is that a woman looks for in a man she wants to marry or spend the rest of her life with? Why is it we find some men attractive and interesting and other men not so much? What is it that attracts women, what specifically? Well, researchers think they have some answers. Masculine Features New research suggests that women measure a man’s potential as a mate based on the masculinity of his features. The man who has a square jaw and a very well defined brow ridge is considered a great short-term partner because … Continue reading →

Deals from Outback, Michaels, Target, and More!

Today, I’ve found some deals that are only going to last for a limited amount of time, as well as some sales that are going on for the usual amount of time. It can be exciting to find a deal that pops up, out of nowhere, that you have to use that same day. It’s also nice to find sales that you don’t have to rush to. This blog has a little bit of both for you. Outback Steakhouse posted on their Twitter page today an offer that is good for today, only. Go to Outback Steakhouse today, and mention … Continue reading →

China Adoption Book Review: The Lost Daughters of China

Karin Evans is a journalist. Her book, Lost Daughters of China: Abandoned Girls, Their Journey to America, and the Search for a Missing Past alternates between her story of adopting a one-year-old Chinese girl and her research into the circumstances leading to the abandonment of so many girls from China. (I should point out, as I’ve written before, that abandonment is not always—nor even usually in other countries—leaving a child to its fate. In countries where there are no adoption agencies helping birthparents nor laws allowing the relinquishment of babies, leaving a child in a place where she will easily … Continue reading →

Just for Fun

In every married life there needs to be times you do something just for fun. Yesterday we had one of those days – a family time of picnic and time for the adults to chat while keeping an eye on grandchildren playing in the park. After that we headed off to a medieval fair. Three generations went. Mick and I our son and his two children (unfortunately after finding out about the medieval fair our daughter-in-law was too ill to come) and our daughter and her husband, gathered with hundreds of other people at Winterfest. We watched mock battles between … Continue reading →

Show Some Respect

Recently FatherBlogger started a forum topic about the best way for a boy to learn to respect women. I suggested a boy needed the example at home of a father who showed that respect to his wife. But it really goes much deeper than that. Marriage to me is about love certainly, but also respect and loyalty to each other. I am horrified sometimes to hear the way women deride their husbands to other women. Where is the loyalty to the one they are married to? By the same token there are guys who publicly ridicule and sling off about … Continue reading →

Is Your Argument over Control?

Posted on by

One aspect of a relationship that many couples struggle with is power. Whenever a couple becomes engaged in an argument it often goes deeper than the issue at hand. Rather than fighting over the incident that occurred, many couples are actually fighting over who has more control or power in the relationship. Many partners like to know that they can have influence over their mate’s actions and thoughts. Women like to feel that they have say in their men’s habits and actions, especially when it comes to going out with friends or staying out after work. Men like to think … Continue reading →

Enrichment Tip: Give Him a Guy’s Night

Posted on by

In my previous article I began discussing some tips and measures that women can take to help enhance their relationship with their husbands. There are simple things that partners can do to create a deeper and closer bond with one another. The first tip that I shared was to speak out. Communication is a very important part of a healthy relationship. By speaking up directly you can ensure that your husband understands your needs and concerns. This can help eliminate confusion and frustration. Speaking up as soon as you feel the need may also elevate hard feelings and arguments that … Continue reading →
