Finding a Common Interest with Your Spouse
A marriage is a wonderful union of two people who love each other. Nowhere does it say that you have to have much in common to fall in love. But it is important that you find activities that they can do together to help strengthen the bonds of that union. Different Interests The odds are that the husband and wife have very different interests. You are, after all, two unique individuals. Having different interests is great. You shouldn’t be doing everything together, but you don’t want to take it too far. Why? Letting the different interests rule your marriage can damage your relationship. Having different interests that keep you separate can put quite a bit of distance between a husband and wife. If a husband is so obsessed with his hunting, he could be telling his wife that … [Read more...]
Fall Wedding Theme Decorating Ideas
I was married in December under twinkling lights and a light drizzle of freezing rain that made everything look magical. I would never change a thing about that wonderful day, but have often thought of how fun it would be to have a "Fall" wedding.

Saying I Love You…in a Way He Understands
Saying I love you comes easily to me (in fact, it’s really not hard for me to say anything at all!). However, saying I love you in a way my husband understands…now that’s a different story. Taking time to understand the way your husband operates can reveal a lot about your relationship. The “less talk, more action” policy has never been truer than it is when attempting to show a man he is truly loved. For instance, here are a few husband gifts you may not have previously considered: Unexpected Love Notes My husband is a man of few words (aren’t most men?). But just because he doesn’t talk a lot doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to hear that I love him. While he may not hear my words, he does notice them when I write them down. That’s why I’ve started leaving him love notes. No…not old … [Read more...]
