The Newlywed and Not-So-Newlywed Game - Blog Entry

22 Sep 2008 06:18 AM

There's also something to be said for remembering the "floaty" stage. It's so easy to get bogged down in day-to-day life. Games like this remind couples of what brought them together in the first place. Such wonderful memories can serve as a reminder to bring a bit of passion back into the relationship.

Is There a Right Way to Load the Dishwasher? - Blog Entry

Yes, cleaning the cat boxes is a chore, but the love and affection the little fuzzballs give me makes the task so worth it. FWIW, we have 4 boxes, all covered, and go through about 42 lbs. of litter each week.

Soooo glad I don't have to do dishes! My beau and I both work, so we split the basic chores: I cook, clean the cat boxes and do laundry; he does dishes, garbage and the heavy lifting. We have a maid who comes twice a month to do the full-on housecleaning (bathrooms, floors, dusting etc.). This is our one small luxury, a budgeted gift to our relationship. The maid keeps our house spic and span (no small task with 7 cats) and we get to spend more time just being together.

This is, by far, the best entry you've posted on the marriage blog. Thank you for writing such a lovely piece about being attuned to each other's moods. Your "day date" sounds like it was wonderful adventure.

Your Personal Love Myth and Your Relationship - Blog Entry

I shared this post with my beau, and we had a good laugh over it. Our thoughts were the same: "They were married for 25 years and never discussed the concept of love at first sight????" Hell, we discussed this topic before we even started dating each other. *grin*

What's Your Personal Love Myth? - Blog Entry

My personal love myth is "destino - it is written in the stars." I'm also drawn to "love conquers al"l and "people die, but real love is forever."

Is Artistic Genius an Excuse? - Blog Entry

People who date, love and marry talented people understand one simple fact: the talent defines their mate's personality and outlook on life. You're not dating someone who happens to be good at writing; you're dating a writer. You're not dating someone who's good at sports; you're dating an athlete. And being a writer, painter, chess master, athlete, etc., means you see the world through different eyes.

Many people in society have children as a way of leaving their imprint on the world. Kids carry on their name, their values, their aspirations. Talented people may have children, but their legacy results from fame, fortune, awards or a simple acknowledgment of their talents. That doesn't make them narcissists. It just means they have something else to offer the world, and that shouldn't be discounted simply because it's not what ordinary people do.
