“Tone Deaf Marriage”
I’ve met both extremes. I had a friend in bible college who, at parties, we’d make sit at a keyboard while we sing random notes. Almost instantaneously, she’d play the exact note. No mistakes. She can pick out any tones, notes, and/or pitches and play or sing them. She’s very talented musically. I have another…

Holding Your Spouse Captive
My mind goes to a childhood experience. On a family vacation to San Diego, we had taken a day to go across the border to Mexico. At a local flea market, I saw a pair of handcuffs and just had to have them. After a day of pleading with my dad and him haggling with…

Sexual Atrophy
I use sticky notes quite a bit. I get ideas for this blog, and I’ll use them. There’s one that has been stuck to the surface of my desk for a month. It has two words at the top…one specifically that I haven’t been able to let go of. Atrophy. It was 2005 and I…

Kissing Lessons
To quote Porthos in the “Three Musketeers,” he told D’Artagnan “The secret…is in the first kiss for in that first kiss a lasting impression is made. Right, ladies? If it is weak she’ll think you’re weak. If it is comical she’ll think you’re a clown. (…) And as a musketeer is never weak and only rarely a clown…
