Do You Feel Sexy?

Sometimes, the issue is not one of lack of attraction for our spouses. Sometimes, it’s all about not feeling very attractive ourselves. This may stem from physical issues regarding personal appearance, health, weight gain, rapid weight loss, or an assortment of other concerns, but sometimes it can also be emotional. If you don’t feel good about yourself as a person, or don’t particularly like the man or woman inside, you’re not likely to feel as if you’re attractive to others. On the other hand, it may not be self-image, but the image you feel the other person sees. If your … Continue reading →

Is Housework Sexy?

The title may seem like a bizarre question at first, but the answer is yes, in my opinion. I have to say, cooking and cleaning can be quite sexy, especially when my husband is the one doing them! The other day he was helping me with holiday cleaning, and I said (over the noise of the vacuum), “You look so hot when you’re cleaning house.” He laughed. I laughed, but there is some truth to it. It makes me feel closer to him when he takes the time to help me. I believe most women find their men extra attractive … Continue reading →

Is There a Right Way to Load the Dishwasher?

It seems it’s been eons ago now that Jade sent me a link to an article with the subject line “housework issues.” It directed me to an article entitled “Don’t let the dishwasher ruin your marriage.” It was about a woman who’s given up loading the dishwasher because, as she put it, “No matter how I load it, my husband comes after me and reloads it.” I didn’t have a chance to write about it then. (It was around the time my mom moved in with us.) Also, housework is one of those subjects that seemed to be covered pretty … Continue reading →

Bringing Back Romance

The hardest part about having children is the sheer wealth of time, emotion and energy you invest in them. Don’t doubt for an instant that your children are worth it, but there is a new type of stress that your relationship will undergo as you transform from couple to parents. Parents lose sleep, parents are always busy, and there is always something for parents to be doing. Parents rarely get to sleep in and in some cases, rarely get to go out anymore. If you discover that you are spending less and less time with your spouse and that your … Continue reading →

Cleaning Routine? What Routine?

As I look around, I have to stop and think about my cleaning routine. What routine? I really don’t have much of one. Usually, my housework schedule means that I clean whatever needs cleaning the most when I have the most available time. I know that’s a haphazard way to do things, but other methods have failed me. I have a big, busy family and things change from day to day. One day, we might all take our showers in a row as fast as the water heater will allow, while other days, we shower at different intervals. If I … Continue reading →

Can You Be Too Romantic?

Being a hopeless romantic myself, I say the answer to the question in the title is “no.” I don’t think there is such a thing as being too romantic, at least as far as my relationship is concerned. That answer may vary with different couples. Some spouses aren’t particularly comfortable with numerous romantic gestures. This may be because he or she isn’t certain how to reciprocate. Your mate not be as creative or as expressive as you are when it comes to such things, and may feel a little put off. Make sure he or she knows that you don’t … Continue reading →

The Marriage Week in Review for December 16 – 22

Ay carumba! We’ve got just two shopping days left until Christmas. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and for many of you that means you either started traveling yesterday or you are traveling today. Chances are you have family coming to visit or to whom you want to visit. For us, it will be going to my mother’s tomorrow evening to celebrate Christmas Eve together and then a very quiet, family Christmas Day on Christmas itself. Honestly, I’m tired, but I will tell you more about that later. For now, let’s take a quick look at our week in review – I … 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 →
