The Marriage Blog Week in Review for July 7-13

Poor Lyn has been quite the champ while I’ve been away. She took over covering Week in Reviews every week, instead of every other. (Thanks again, Lyn!) But now I’m back to resume my share of the duties. (Albeit I’m a wee bit off schedule this week.) At any rate, here’s a recap of what Lyn, Heather, and I wrote about on: Monday, July 7 Lyn shared more about relating to your man and the importance of it. She also examined issues of compatibility. Tuesday, July 8 Lyn wondered if verbal affairs were just as detrimental as physical ones. Lyn … Continue reading →

Verbal Affairs

Posted on by

The writers here at Families.com are wonderful at covering all of the different aspects of marriage. In those discusses, we have picked apart the topic of affairs on several occasions. We have discussed the affects of affairs, staying together after an affair, emotional affairs, mental affairs, and physical affairs. However I think that there may be one affair type that has been left out. Is there such a thing as a verbal affair? Can two people create too close of a bond with another through verbal means. I think that the answer is “yes”. Perhaps this type of affair is … Continue reading →

Open Affairs

Posted on by

It seems that Courtney and I are all about discussing affairs these days! In the past few weeks there have been numerous articles written and comments made about cheating and affairs. The topic is so broad and so intense that we just cannot help but discuss it. Today I will venture even further into the world of cheating on your mate. The type of affair that I will discuss today is what I call an open affair. I consider an open affair an affair that is not trying to be hidden. Yes, I have actually seen this one happen. These … Continue reading →

Affairs and STDs

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 →

Mental Affairs

In a very recent article Courtney touched on the fact that affairs can have different levels. Some affairs are purely a physical attraction and others have emotional ties to them. As she stated in her article, it would be harder to accept an emotional affair rather than a physical one. Having feelings about the person brings the affair to a new level. In this article I too would like to touch on affairs. Hopefully not stepping too much into Courtney’s topic, I would like to discuss mental affairs. In some cases, mates have affairs in their minds. Of course these … Continue reading →

Insurance Blog Week In Review February 6-12, 2007

This week in the Insurance Blogs I have focused a bit on the Business of Insurance, including some of the Career paths insurance has to offer. Next week I will be expanding on some of interesting things a person might do with an Insurance License.

Love on the High Seas

It’s called the “Love Boat” for a reason. Each year tens of thousands of couples head out on the high seas to celebrate their relationships. While some decide to tie the knot on cruise ships, others come for the quiet sunsets, romance and intimacy. Often, though, the sentimental setting can spark lovebirds to rededicate themselves onboard luxury ocean liners. Most major cruise ships offer vow renewal ceremonies for passengers who request them before setting sail. A generic package includes: A vow renewal ceremony performed on the ship, music, a bouquet for her and a boutonniere for him, as well as … Continue reading →

Charlie Sheen’s Not the Only One to Lose His Mind – Part 1

Remember the good old days when Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan were what you talked about around the water cooler? Yes, we thought they were as low as a celebrity could go, but just when you think that, someone else comes along to lower the bar. Right now, that person is Charlie Sheen. As my husband said the other day, Sheen’s gone so whacko that he wouldn’t be surprised if Sheen showed up with a swastika carved into his forehead, a la another infamous Charlie (Manson for those who don’t get the joke). In case you missed the Sheen meltdown … Continue reading →

Conservation at the Animal Kingdom

One of the Animal Kingdom’s bats For all my from-childhood into-adulthood love of the fantasy worlds of Disney, the Animal Kingdom is rapidly becoming my favorite Disney World park. I know I haven’t actually visited Disney World yet, but just based on the things I’m learning about the Animal Kingdom’s dedication to conversation, the environmental and animal activist in me joins with my love of Disney to make me a huge fan of the Animal Kingdom. Recently the official Disney parks blog posted a round-up of all the ways the Animal Kingdom has in the past year promoted conservation, education, … Continue reading →
