Sharing is Loving, Loving is sharing - Your Hopes, Fears and Dreams

-
Image
Talking is one way to share thoughts and feelings between partners.  Research has shown that women actually talk more than men,  in fact about three times more in terms of the number of words. This fact does not excuse men to from not talk.  It is the men who “clam up” and refuse to talk.  There are also cases where men who do more talking   than women, just as there are cases where it is the women who talk a lot  as well as those women who do not wish to talk a lot.  There is actually no clear cut or fool proof way to judge who should do more of the talking or who should do less.  It is primarily not about gender but about the individual themselves. Communication is a vital part of any relationship.  Openness and honesty is a key ingredient to maintaining a kind of memorable relationship that is mutually loving and emotionally comfortable. The following are tips and possible activities one can do to get yourself or your partner to ta...

Marriage: Share and Share Some More Until You Succeed

-
Image
Most wives and husbands ultimately become mothers and  fathers.  These mothers and fathers and their children later turn to become families that form part of America’s ever growing communities.  Studies have shown that children strive to become the best they could possibly be if both parents are present to give support in all aspects of their children’s growth be it financial, psychological or emotional. There are many possible results if a couple fail to share responsibility, support, decisions and commitment to each other and to their children.  One is the most dreaded but is a highly popular option now-a-days. The D word Divorce is not a very kind word.  Every year, there are almost a million children in America who experience their parents go through the messy process of divorce.   According to studies, half of these children will become adults who have grown up in homes raised by a single parent.  Marriage is a solid institution that conve...

M & M: Money and Marriage

-
Image
Contrary to popular belief, love of money is not the root of all evil, lack of money is. This issue is a major concern of most married couples today.  Believe it or not, eighty percent of divorces are the result of disagreements over money.  Though money and marriage may not be good topics to talk about together, the fact is -- marriages cannot go on without money; while money, fortunately or unfortunately, can very well exist on its own.  The following are tips to improve marriage especially when money and finances are involved. Learn each other’s spending styles A couple is composed of two individuals with varying likes, dislikes and preferences, with differing financial lifestyles – e.g., one is a big spender while the other is a spendthrift; one is an impulsive buyer while the other likes to think things through; one prefers to deal with money matters now while the other wants to think about it over night.  These differences could cause friction and fights i...

Domestic Work Can Keep Love Alive for couples

-
Image
A typical housewife's day starts and ends with the same thing:  household chores .  A fulltime housewife wakes up early to prepare breakfast and then she makes sure everybody eats well.  When the hubby and the children are off to work and to school, she cleans the house and does the laundry. A housewife's day is either spent tending her garden or buying groceries.  Then she hurries home and prepares dinner for the family.  Dinner is the time for conversation with the family.  After washing the dishes, the housewife tucks everybody in bed and then she can do things that she enjoys - like reading or needle work.  The next day is spent following the same routine. A working mother, on the other hand, is not less of a housewife just because she spends the day in the office.  A working mom just needs to plan her day ahead so she can work and at the same time perform all the household chores. A housewife, fulltime or working, can only do so muc...

Re-introduce Romance Into Your Married Life - Keep It Fun.

-
Image
In marriage, it is the woman who is most likely to complain that the romance is gone or missing from the relationship. After several years of being together, you might have become so used to each other that you both tend to forget to spice up the relationship with romance. The secret to a healthy and a happy marriage is to re-vitalize it by constantly thinking of ways to renew your vows and make each other feel how important you are to your partner.   Here are some tips on how you can re-introduce romance into your married life to liven things up: 1. Reminisce about the good times that you had together. Life is too short to spend time dwelling on the bad things. Instead, turn it around and make the best out of the good times that you had together. Re-visit a romantic vacation spot where you celebrated your anniversary. For the husbands, “court” your wife again. Schedule regular dates and spend some time away from work, your house and your children. Having some ‘alone’ time ...

Another Key to a Solid Marriage - Never Go to Bed Angry

-
Image
“Never go to bed angry” is a cliché that we always hear. This has proven to be very sound advice, and is a motto that many couples live by. Marriage is the ultimate consummation for two people who are in love. Your wedding is not the “happy ending” to your love story, instead,  it is just the  beginning of your life together. For a married couple who is just starting out, petty fights and arguments can not be avoided.  The first few years of your marriage will be the test if to determine if you can actually “live” with each other’s bad or annoying habits.  The strength of your love for each other will serve as the “building block” of the rest of your years together. During petty fights, it is good to remember that having an argument is natural. You and your spouse are two different people and you can expect your individual personalities to clash. Here are some ways you and your spouse, as a married couple, can strengthen your bond and improve your marriage: 1. Figh...

The Only Way to Spice up Your Marriage: Exploring Common Interests

-
Image
Married couples seem to go into a lull at some point in their shared lives. There will always come a time when someone works too hard while the other stays at home with their children. It is not really that bad, it is just the way things will be at one point. Someone has to work to sustain the whole family while the other one has to stay home to supervise the children. This is the lull, where everything, from morning to night, Monday until Sunday, seems to repeat itself. You go to work in the morning, you come home from work in the afternoon, you cook for your children, and you discipline your children. The routine is the same every day.  A person has the tendency to get bored and will sometimes feel that the marriage is a total failure. This is when the couple should realize that they have to explore other areas of interests to prevent this lull from happening. This does not really have to mean that you should love and/or hate what your partner does... You just have to show genu...
