I’m pondering a name change for this blog as I don’t really like Mythical Marriage…any suggestions?
This is a funny page I came across that shows common sleeping positions of couples:Sleeping Positions of CouplesThe funniest is the last one, it cracked us up so much, LOL. Which is your most common position? We vary between spooning and the Zen style.
One of my good friends who is very traditional in her marriage and general outlook on life (she is a willing!! supporter of ‘benevolent patriarchy’ but that is another post) tells me to consider how it may look from my husband’s viewpoint: He has to work full-time to support our family (where for me as [...]
Do have conflict with your mother-in-law? Believe me, I know how it is. My MIL and I used to get into it, straight up screaming at each other in the yard and crazy stuff like that. I used to get so upset that my kids liked her let alone loved her, I would ask Brian [...]
What do you do when you marriage is in trouble and you don’t know what to do? First thing try to talk to your partner about it. That is a big breakthrough and a huge first step to healing your relationship. I will share some things that helped us. When Brian and I were going [...]
My husband is still such a slob. I do not understand this about him or about anybody else who is a slob. It’s like he has no sense of aesthetics or like clutter and mess doesn’t bother him. He piles all his stuff all over both dressers and throws his clothes around on the floor. [...]
I’d love to get suggestions and feedback about this blog including what you’d like to see. I’m going to start posting this query for feedback monthly, so if you don’t have any suggestions right now but think of some later you can always let me know next month. I’m so excited about this blog because [...]
My husband makes me feel safe. He is not jealous of my relationships with other people. He trusts me completely. He is proud of me. He holds me in the night. He makes me tea when I am cold and sometimes just because. He talks to me. He compliments me. With him I am never [...]
Practically speaking, if you and your beloved live together first, that can be a good indication of what it will be like when you are married. You learn as much about yourself as you do about the other person when you live with them. Being with each other every day will teach you both what [...]
Marriage is what you make of it. You don’t have to have a traditional marriage. I know married people who are polyamorous. I know married people who live separately. I know married people who don’t have kids and don’t ever want any. These are happily married people, too. They are just as happy as we [...]
While my relationship with my children is very very very important to me, I think it is important and necessary that I am able to love and devote myself to someone other than them. Otherwise I will be a wreck when they are grown and have a life independent of me. I know women like [...]
“If you don’t watch her, she’s going to be hot in the pants” my maternal grandmother said, talking with my mom one day about me. I had wandered over near my grandmother’s kitchen door after running around with my cousins. Always the slowest runner because of being knock-kneed and having breathing issues due to allergies, [...]
The only 2 people who really know what’s going on in a marriage are the 2 people in it. Know and understand what this means. Not only does it mean that other folks can’t tell you what to do with your marriage, it also means that you shouldn’t even tell other folks about the inner [...]
Ok so there was this site with a 50s poster with all this crazy primitive stuff like don’t question your man on it. But in all seriousness, in your opinion what constitutes a good wife? I do not mean to exclude anyone who is not married, those of you who are single/not married I am [...]
1. You know when their physical characteristics become irrelevant – you can look at your partner and truly feel that it wouldn’t matter to you if they lost a limb or got badly burned or scarred or whatever. 2. You know when you want to raise children with them. If you don’t want kids, you’ll [...]
