It happens to all of us - we lose the rush of being in love, the twitterpation of having all our emotions in overdrive and the tingle that comes with just a simple glance from our partner. So, what can a person do?
The obvious answer is find someone that makes you feel that way and […]
I used to have a doctor who would periodically remind me I was not just a mom, but also a wife.
As a doctor, he wasn’t very good. I ended up switching to someone who understood my health problems better.
As a marriage counselor, I think he understood what he was talking about.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget […]
When I ask my husband if my new jeans make my buttocks look bigger, he often looks at me with that quiz-ridden, “Oh My God please don’t ask me that look” as he tries to figure out whether or not I really want him to tell me if they do. Likewise, if he tries a new recipe and somehow […]
When my husband and I got married, we promised each other we would say “I love you” at least once a day.

I was reminded the other day of a couple I used to know. I was friends with Herb, and I’m sorry I can’t remember his wife’s name. Herb and I saw each other once a week at meetings of a social group. Every Tuesday, Herb would pull out a plastic deli container with the best-looking […]
My husband called me the other night to tell me he appreciated something I was doing, and that he was happy for me about a new situation in my life
What was odd about that was I had seen my husband just ten minutes earlier, but when he started on his way to a club meeting, […]
While sitting at drinks with several girl friends this weekend I found myself counting the number of times one of them would comment about how their needs and desires are not met by their partner. Over and over they noted that while their man would try to understand, he never really “got it.” Well ladies, […]
I recently was picking something up at an acquaintance’s house when she said, “We’re going on our first date in five years. We’re not sure what that will be like.”
Yesterday I heard a radio personality say that she and her husband have weekly dates while their children are at a church youth activity. She mentioned […]
