The wedding vows are the sacred part of the marriage. Frame them and make those your prayer.

  You're a song Written by the hands of god Don't get me wrong ‘cause This might sound to you a bit odd But you own the place Where all my thoughts go hiding And right under your clothes Is where I find them Underneath Your Clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory - Shakira

Marital Suicide with Depression

Marital Suicide with Depression

Is your partner depressed? Do you feel like a single parent? Help and quick, easy tips that work.

Depression is a very common emotion. We all become depressed from time to time. Luckily, it does not last long for most of us, however, couples who deal with chronic depression are not so fortunate.

Stay-at-home wives forgo jobs AND kids.

According to CNN, a new breed of housewife is emerging: one who's jobless, childless and home by choice.

Men Are Happiest With Educated Wives

From The Sydney Morning Herald By Adele Horin MEN in search of true happiness should steer clear of bimbos and dumb blondes: research shows men are happiest if they marry smart women.

But Shane Mathew Worner, of the Australian National University's economics program, says it may be that an educated woman's earning power is her biggest asset. In a paper to be presented at the HILDA Survey Research conference this week, he says "the higher the education level of the wife, the happier the husband is." The study is based on a sample of more than 5000 Australians drawn from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey.
