Fighting Over The Little Things

Sometimes it really is the little things that matter most.

In our relationship, I am the cleaner. I love to wash the floors and am known to follow Dave around the house with a broom and dust pan. In times of stress, I relax by pouring a glass of wine and scrubbing the living heck out of the bathtub. So, when I see the socks on the floor, I don't see socks on the floor. I see a sign, a sign that says, "I don't value your efforts to keep the house clean. You are my slave!" And it blinks over my husbands head in bright orange neon lights and that's when I start wondering where exactly I stashed my B.B. gun.

Should The Government Regulate Fatherhood?

Obama is getting involved in our most fundamental of relationships.

Our relationships with our fathers is one of our first and most important relationships and how we relate to our father's is often a defining factor in our lives. According to the 2009 U.S. Census Bureau 1 in 3 children live apart from their father. Children who grow up fatherless are more likely to be poor, turn to drugs and commit crime. In response to the growing number of fatherless children in the U.S. President Obama launched a new program that is designed to raise awareness of the value of fatherhood. The new site, Fatherhood.gov is designed to give fathers, policymakers, and researchers information and advice on fatherhood. But the big question is whether this site will have an impact on the father-child relationship?

Why Married Sex Is The Best

A woman explains why she loves married sex.

What a bad boring rap monogamy has in our sex-saturated society. We live in a society that values multiple sex partners and ignores the richness of monogamous marital sex. This isn't to say married sex is perfect. I used to hate married sex. When I was married for the first time long ago, sex was a bit of an issue. And before that I dide the casual sex thing, only to discover what many others discover (but rarely admit) – sex outside the covenant of marriage leaves in its path a battlefield of emotional, physical and spiritual wreckage.

Your Marriage Is More Important Than Your Kids

Why your spouse should always come first.

Children are most definitely a blessing. They require a substantial investment of our time, attention and resources, but return joy that can’t be measured. However, parents must not lose their relationship in the midst of the overwhelming nature of parenting. Spouses can be intentional about their marriage so the whole family can thrive. After nearly 15 years of marriage, I’m still learning this. Small improvements in your family can make a big difference. Don’t feel guilty when you are taking time for your marriage. Remind yourself that you are benefiting your children as well. The alternative is to do nothing, and continue the almost imperceptible drift apart.
