 flame

Well, I finished the book a couple of days ago and my first thought when I saw the title was Wow! Nike let them use those three words in that order without filing some sort of copyright infringement lawsuit threats! As for the book… Read More

 sepia

So, Annie Brown so kindly sent Marc and I the book to review.  In hard back even…I was impressed.

Just Do It is the  saga (I think saga is a good word here) of Doug and Annie’s adventures in committing to have 100 + 1 days of sex.

Normally you will see that I stay shy of politics.  It is an area I don’t normally choose to make an issue of.  Allow me this one small toe in the water of the political jungle.

My Rebuttal to “Transactional Marriage”

 chess

Tony Woodlief began a series August 26 called the Transactional Marriage.  he has three  parts done so far.

I don’t even know where to start with this except to say that I whole heartedly disagree. Sometimes things can sound very spiritual without being necessarily biblical. Read More

Marriage Builder Monday

How was your Labor Day? Mine was extremely restful, I did only a little work on a front page update for LoveToKnow Antiques, where I am the editor, and a few things here and there but mostly I relaxed, chatted with friends, out oldest daughter and her husband, and of course, Marc.

It was good, and probably exactly what I needed.. Read More

My Husband ROCKS! Friday

 my huisband rocks

Another Friday and it is time for…My Husband Rocks!

One of the  ways that Marc rocks is in an area that I have seen alot of men totally NOT. ROCK.  Leadership.

It seems to me that when men hear the words authority and submission they either decide that they are to be addressed as “Your Majesty” OR they decide that it is all too overwhelming to figure out and become passive, allowing their wives to run the show…and carry all of the burdens. Read More

Do You Have a Deal Breaker?

 conflict

When Marc and I first got married I had a short list in my mind of things that would be deal breakers.

You know, the things that you feel that if they ever happen you are heading for the nearest lawyer?  I think everyone has them, at least mentally.  If he does xyz I am OUT OF HERE….

It’s funny but over the years I have dealt with almost all of those deal breakers and when they actually happened they weren’t deal breakers at all.  They were mountains to climb, challenges to face, problems to over come..but that ’s all.

I finally realized that I don’t have any deal breakers, I only have a strong desire to live the rest of my life with Marc.

The first time I faced a deal breaker event I felt like my insides had been cut out, salted, marinated in jalapeno puree, and then returned to my body…upside down. Read More
