Marriage May Not Be What You Think It Will Be

Posted on by

The sad part is, marriage is almost never what you think it will be.

New Marriage Book: Would You Like to Help?

If you could help someone write a book on marriage, would you do so? Well, you wouldn’t actually be helping write it in this case, but you would be helping the author with her research.

You often hear people talk about the psychological issues they suffer after finding out a spouse has had an affair (namely lack of trust), and there’s the other kind of fallout that manifests (counseling and divorce), but what about the health issues? How many affairs result in the contraction of an STD? Perhaps it’s a weird thing to wonder about. (Then again, I’m prone to that. “How Do Monkeys Keep Their Nails Clipped?” is proof.) But there you have it, I’m wondering about it. I blame Wayne. Not because he cheated and gave me an STD, but because of his … Continue reading →
