Confessions of a Marriage Blogger: Part 2 “Our kids are for sale.”
We started a series of marriage blogs last week. If you missed last week, check out Confessions of a Marriage Blogger: Part 1 “We irritate each other”. I started off by telling my own feelings about how I felt like marriage blog and book writers lived in a Ken and Barbie world of perfection. I’m…

Confessions of a Marriage Blogger: Part 1 “We irritate each other.”

People would spend hundreds of dollars to watch him knock out opposing boxers in 30 seconds. Just in case you want to…

Taser Your Spouse: How to completely stun your mate.
There’s a demented side of me that wants to know what it’s like to be tased. I know that some police in their training volunteer to be tased to know what their weapon does to individuals. The idea is simple: it gives law enforcement a non-lethal way to take down a criminal by simply stunning…

Naming Your spouse: Weekly Marriage Blog
Naming something is a powerful thing. It says something about authority and even speaks about passion and vision. 14 years ago, when deciding a name for our daughter, Anne and I had quite a few disagreements about what our little girl would be called. We knew it had to be a name that we were…
