Pregnancy and Relationships: Your Marriage

For the final installment of my Pregnancy and Relationships series, I am going to talk about marriage. I’m saving the best for last, since pregnancy will have the greatest impact on the two people who started it. It’s hard to describe in 500 words or less the kind of changes that will take place when two people move from being a couple to a family. Suddenly, your whole world revolves around the well being and development of an eight pound, crying, pooping, drooling mess with big round eyes, dimples and a smile that will make you melt every time. The … Continue reading →

Today’s “Why I Got Married, Why I Stay Single” Series – The Single Side of Things

Today continued their “Why I Got Married, Why I Stayed Single Series” this morning. This go around they examined why some people stay single. They interviewed single women for the introduction, but then they had Dr. Judith Sills, the clinical psychologist they had on yesterday’s show, as well as Amy Cohen, author of The Late Bloomer’s Revolution, on to talk with. Too Young to Be an Expert I immediately discounted Ms. Cohen. At first. I couldn’t understand how she could claim being an expert on being single and deciding to stay such when she didn’t look like she was even … Continue reading →

Trista Gives new “Bachelorette” Marriage Advice

I will say this… at least she’s still married. Yes, I give credit to Trista Sutter, the original “Bachelorette” who found her Prince Charming in husband Ryan Sutter in front of an audience filled with naysayers, and then went on to marry him in front of millions more on national TV. The Sutters are not only still married, but they are also parents to a 1-year-old son Max, who lives with the couple in Vail, Colorado far from the media glare and the Hollywood rumor mill that constantly churns out stories of infidelities and break-ups. Trista’s happy ending apparently inspired … Continue reading →

The Best Marriage Article of December

The best marriage article of December focused on a series that Sherry and I wrote detailing the traditions couples develop surround the holiday. In Why You and Your Spouse Should Create Your Own Traditions we talked about the holidays and what traditions my husband and I used to celebrate our first few Christmases before we had our daughter. Later, our traditions changed, but that is a natural event as families grow and develop. The birth of children will have a great deal of influence on the traditions you and your spouse celebrate and honor. For families with older children, don’t … Continue reading →

Sharing One View on Homosexual Marriage

I have heard people say that homosexual marriage is not hurting anyone, and that those who are gay deserve to be happy having the same rights as heterosexual couples have. I have been very reluctant to write about this because it is such a heated topic. I would just like to share my thoughts on homosexual marriage and why I believe the acceptance of it to be part of the subtle decay of morality which was foretold in the Bible. I do not support gay marriage, the marriage of more than 2 people, marriage to animals, adults marrying children, or … Continue reading →

The Best of October in the Marriage Blog

As a pat of our Week in Review series, I wanted to take a long look back at the last four weeks here in the marriage blog and the various articles that have been produced.

Our interpersonal relationships are a complicated thing and marriages take a lot of work. In an effort to always hone what we are giving you, I asked a few of my fellow writers to take a look at … Continue reading →

This exercise is called couple toons and it offers you and your partner some humorous ways to reconnect, even in the light of a harsh disagreement. How Does It Work? Imagine a recent argument you and your spouse have had. The argument may have been over money, over housework or even over who forgot to go the grocery store. As you think about … Continue reading →

Intimacy in Marriage

Posted on by

There is no mutual earthly commitment I can think of that is closer than marriage. Sadly, too often vows are forgotten or betrayed even in Christian homes. Couples who don’t make a regular intimate connection with each other through prayer, sex, or other quality time are leaving a door open for Satan to tempt them from a precious covenant which God has instituted. Why does Satan make such an attack on marriage? As I’ve discussed earlier in this series of marriage blogs, God has instituted marriage not only so man would not be lonely, but I believe to help us … Continue reading →
